Have you ever witnessed a 100% youth-led mediation dialogue in South Sudan?

The scenario is not real, but the mediation skills are! Watch this drama youth group in action as they stage a dramatized conflict resolution session. Madam Komba and Madam Nancy play the lead mediator roles, with others acting as religious leaders, elders, community members, and more.

In collaboration with Human Must Access Essentials (HUMAES) and with support from Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), UNDP's Peace and Community Cohesion Project (PaCC) formed drama youth groups to promote peace. The youth acting in this drama were trained on conflict resolution. Then they staged a drama mediation session to model the best practices they learned.
