This paper is a report from Save the Children Norway’s workshop “Building peace out of war children and young people as agents of peace” and 2-day seminar, “Building peace out of war the young generation s challenge”. Children and young people from five country programmes took part.

The workshop participants presented their views on: what is a conflict? what is violence and what do you think about violence? how can violence be prevented? and what is peace?. The workshop also discussed issues such as: how children and young people are affected by violent conflict and war; what rights are being broken? And how children and young people are best supported during armed conflict.
