At the same time, school pupil have formed African Peace Youth Clubs which are supportive structures for promoting a culture of peace in their schools as well as linking up with other schools that have similar programs.
Peace activity in the community is coordinated by several Peace Afraid Youth Centers around that were solely established by young people themselves.
