Onero Institute x Freedom House
At a time when online freedom faces mounting challenges, Onero Institute and Freedom House collaborated to highlight our shared mission to equip young leaders to protect and expand democratic and academic spaces.
Onero Statement on the Role of Youth in World Affairs
Young people play an important role in international issues and discourse. In 2015, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace, and Security. The Onero Institute engages youth and embodies the spirit of this resolution through its various activities in hopes of creating a more inclusive and sustainable future.
As an entirely youth-driven organization, the Onero Institute recognizes the importance of discussing the experiences and roles of young people in impacting international issues.
The Onero Institute seeks to introduce more research and analysis on the global role of youth because:
Young people are often impacted by international issues to a greater extent than other age demographics
Young people have become increasingly active in international conflict and conflict resolution
Young people have the potential to lead and create positive, sustainable change.
The Onero Institute invites other organizations to join in acknowledging and including the role of young people in world affairs, and strives to overcome the traditional omission of youth experience from international discourse.
The Onero Institute supports the goals of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace, and Security in calling on international players to empower young people and extends those goals to encourage young people to empower themselves by more actively engaging with the international community.
The Onero Institute is a non-profit 501(c)(3) youth-led organization dependent entirely on generous donations from people like you.
