Peacebuilding scholars have long argued for the need to understand the varied and unique ways created and deployed in peacebuilding efforts for and with children and youth. This includes giving due consideration to the role of creative and arts-based approaches in peacebuilding efforts involving children and youth as important stakeholders in the peacebuilding process.
Children, Youth, Peace and the Arts (CYPA) brings together academics, PhD students, early career researchers, and practitioners from across King’s with a shared vision of the importance of the arts when involving children and youth in peacebuilding. We also collaborate with experts on children, youth, peace, and the arts from a wider network of researchers and practitioners in the UK and internationally. In doing so, CYPA enables transdisciplinary dialogues between academics, practitioners, and policy-makers – locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally – on issues related to:
- children/youth and peacebuilding
- arts and peacebuilding
- the nexus of children/youth, arts, and peacebuilding
We also provide a platform for members to showcase their excellent and innovative research and impact in dealing with critical societal issues in the sphere of children, youth, peace, and the arts.
The CYPA therefore provides a unique forum for collaborations in research, policy and practice, both for and with children, and provides a stimulating, welcoming and creative space for interdisciplinary collaboration within a mutually supporting environment.

Coming soon - Special issue for 'Peacebuilding' journal
'Peacebuilding' is a peer-reviewed international, comparative, multidisciplinary journal on making peace in contemporary and historical cases of conflict-affected societies.
Coming soon - Writing workshop
This one-day FRIF funded writing workshop will be for selected CYPA members who will contribute content for the special issue of the 'Peacebuilding' journal. This will be an opportunity for contributors to get peer feedback on their work.
Inter-generational Peace (GENPEACE)
In GENPEACE, the project works through Yayasan Save the Children Indonesia, cultural artists from Bandung province namely Saung Anklung Udjo, and existing government-sponsored Children’s Forums in collaboration with the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection in Bandung and Jakarta. The novel aim of this project is to go beyond sharing and presenting children’s views in formal ways and instead explore creating two-way or dialogic communication between participating children and targeted policymakers using the arts during the government's development planning meetings, the forum anak. Through arts-based participatory methods, including musical drama with the traditional Bamboo Angklung instrument, digital videos involving song, dance, poetry recitation, and photo narrative exhibits, GENPEACE will create new structures for intergenerational communication in Bandung and beyond. We have been training and working with 30 children and youth facilitators includes those with disability, the GENPEACE ambassadors from the children’s forums (formal and informal in Bandung district), to report on children’s rights issues at the Musrenbang (local participatory planning at the community level) through arts and digital-based advocacy including podcasts with policy makers.
