Independent · Youth-led · Non-partisan
Every generation inherits something. We can decide what we pass on.
Connecting South Sudanese across communities, generations and borders to speak, listen, create and act for peace.
Who we are
Who we are
Peace Across Generations is an independent, youth-led and non-partisan peacebuilding initiative for South Sudan. We use storytelling, letters, art, intergenerational dialogue, responsible digital communication and safe community action to make peaceful choices more visible in everyday life.
Young people are at the centre — and elders, parents, teachers, artists, leaders and the diaspora all have a place here.

Why Peace Cannot Wait
South Sudan’s young people are too often recruited, displaced or left out of decisions. They are also students, creators, entrepreneurs and organisers — the builders of everyday peace.
From 21 September 2026 to 7 December 2034 we keep peace visible, practical and passed between generations — 3,000 days, one promise.
