Youth are frequently among the primary foot-soldiers in conflict, the victims of violence and the instigators of efforts to advance justice and transformative structural change. In Karenni State, youth have played key roles in ethnic, religious, and political conflicts for decades. They are involved in the struggle for justice and peace. Youth are a crucial part of the struggle for political autonomy and self-determination. Youth lead the provision of humanitarian support and the reconciliation process. Therefore, young people are essential to the transitional period in terms of their ideas and attitudes. This video highlights the importance of education for young people. It took many discussions for the youth group to decide what was the most important thing to highlight. Thanks to the participatory approach, the music video portrays how young people see themselves moving forward, especially during this nascent transitional justice process. The music video is also a collaboration with musicians, singers, an animator, and school-age children. Throughout the process, a do-no-harm approach was done to ensure for the security of those children portrayed in the music video. We hope that you enjoy this brilliant piece!
