This new educational resource: “Peace & Security: Building Justice, Trust and Human Dignity”, produced by UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, invites educators, learners, and communities to explore the urgent challenge of sustaining peace and human security, understand root causes of violence and insecurity, and identify their role in building fair, inclusive, and resilient communities.

Purpose: Peace and security are the foundation for human dignity and sustainable development. Without safety, justice, and trust in institutions, societies cannot thrive, and global challenges cannot be solved. This module invites learners to explore the urgent challenge of sustaining peace and human security, understand root causes of violence and insecurity, and identify their role in building fair, inclusive, and resilient communities. It includes a three-part learning journey with relevant background information, video-based contents, interactive visuals, guided research, and systems thinking activities designed to inspire reflection and action.

Learners will

  • Understand key concepts of peace and security, including positive peace, human security, justice, and inclusion.
  • Explore systems, institutions, and stakeholders that prevent violence and sustain peace.
  • Reflect on global and local drivers of conflict and insecurity, including inequality and disinformation. Develop ideas for youth-led action that strengthen social cohesion and trust.
