Summary:

Save the Children Norway organised a seminar during the Childhoods 2005 conference in Oslo in July. 15 children and young people from seven countries (Guatemala, The Kosovo part of Serbia and Montenegro, Uganda, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Somalia and Norway) prepared themselves during a three-day workshop, "Building peace out of war - children and young people as agents of peace" for the participation in the seminar at the Childhoods conference. The young participants are all members of children's groups, clubs or organisations, most of which led by themselves.

In July 2005, youth from Guatemala, Kosovo, Somalia, Afghanistan, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Norway gathered at Save the Children to give their input to the big conference "Childhoods 2005". They also exchanged experiences and learned methods for peace building. This report sums up their week in Oslo and their input to how child rights can be included in peace building.
