Outsource Development supports Youth Peace Leaders at the Launch of the UNESCOs Dialogue in Motion and Peace Ambassadors Initiative

Outsource Development, under the leadership of Natasha Yeeloy-Labad, is proud to launch the Dialogue in Motion – Peace Ambassadors Initiative, as part of the UNESCO Peace Leadership Program (2025–2026 Cohort 1).

This initiative will engage some 50 volunteer young professionals across the private and public sectors as Peace Ambassadors over the next six months. Participants will be equipped with practical tools to strengthen intercultural dialogue, enhance self-awareness, and improve how they communicate and collaborate within diverse environments.

The program places a strong emphasis on advancing the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, fostering a new generation of leaders committed to dialogue-driven solutions.

In addition to professional engagement, the initiative will extend its impact to approximately 200 school-aged youths, creating opportunities for early exposure to peace-building concepts, cultural understanding, and collaborative problem-solving.

Speaking on the initiative, Project Lead Natasha Yeeloy-Labad emphasized the importance of building capacity for dialogue: “This work is about equipping individuals with the awareness and tools to engage meaningfully across differences. When we strengthen how people communicate and understand each other, we strengthen communities and create pathways for peace.”

Through this initiative, Outsource Development continues to demonstrate its commitment to capacity building, youth engagement, and sustainable development, while contributing to global efforts to promote peace and partnership. As a member of the UN Global Compact the organization embraces the principles of cooperation for goals and ensuring sustainability in development. The participants attending will in addition to completing the Why Are We Like that training will be recognized by the Peace Leaders Network as a Peace Leader.
