Youth Creative Peace

Our front door. Anyone with a phone, a pen or a voice can take part this month.

Each month we announce one theme and one prompt. You answer in whatever form you are good at. We feature one work every week and name one Creator of the Month.

What you can make

  • Letters for Peace

    An open letter of up to 500 words — or a voice note — to South Sudan, a leader, a future child, a former enemy or the next generation.

  • Poetry and spoken word

    Written or performed poems in any language, with a short English summary.

  • Music

    An original peace song. Send a 60-second clip. Watch for our Peace Song Challenge in November and February.

  • Visual art and photography

    Drawings, posters, and phone photos of what peace looks like on an ordinary day.

  • Drama and comedy

    A 2–5 minute phone skit. Comedy may laugh at habits and choices — never at a community.

  • Global solidarity

    Friends of South Sudan: send a short message that supports South Sudanese voices without speaking for them.

How each month works

  1. Week 1 — We announce the theme with one prompt and one example.
  2. Weeks 1–4 — You send your work by WhatsApp or email. We check every piece for consent and safety.
  3. Every week — We feature one work, with the creator’s story.
  4. Week 4 — We name the Creator of the Month.

Recognition

Featured creators receive a certificate and a public thank-you. The first 100 contributors become Founding Creators. In February 2027 we will hold an online showcase of the pilot’s best work.
