Provide a safe environment for youth people to participate.

 5.1 Provide a physically, socially and emotionally safe and supportive environment for young people to participate in peacebuilding and post-conflict activities. 5.2 Acknowledge the trauma that many young people have suffered, and offer a safe space to share experiences, including access to psychosocial support, justice and other support services for their rehabilitation and reintegration. 5.3 Be sensitive to divides and inequalities among and between young people, their peers and their communities, avoid exacerbating these, fomenting stereotypes, or creating potentially difficult or dangerous situations for young people before, during and after their participation. 5.4 Ensure that facilitators are specifically trained to handle difficult conversations and situations and know where to refer young people who might need specialized services. 5.5 Be cautious about offering too many opportunities and services to young people who have been involved in violence, to avoid incentivizing others to turn to violence or engage with armed groups to receive money or support
