It documents not only the exciting workshop results and discussions, but also the intensive encounters between the young people themselves, as well as with contemporary witnesses, international team members and political representatives and the press. A highlight was the meeting with Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the presentation of the Youth4Peace Agenda to him, which underlines young people's demands for more political participation and responsibility.
The final documentation contains detailed reports on the topics of the workshops, which range from the culture of remembrance to practical measures for preserving democracy and combating disinformation. Each workshop is a living example of the transformative power of young people, who, through their participation in ‘Youth4Peace’, were not only able to broaden their own perspectives, but also returned to their home countries as agents of peace.
The visit to the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum and the encounters with contemporary witnesses and their descendants offered the young people the opportunity to learn more about history through personal accounts and to reflect on their own role in today's world. The plenary sessions and the interactive discussion of the question ‘What does peace mean to you?’ also highlighted the participants' deep commitment. The final documentation is not only a document of remembrance, but also a call for greater participation and responsibility in an increasingly polarised world.
