Summary
One-third of today's generation of youth--those ages ten to twenty-four--live in fragile or conflicted countries and are susceptible to the sway of ideological narratives of violent extremism. Evidence suggests, however, that they also play active and valuable roles as agents of positive and constructive change. Youth from Kenya's low-income communities can play an active and positive role in making their communities better through generating knowledge that contributes to local peacebuilding efforts.
