We seek the good of one another, aware of our dependence on one another. We are called to live honestly with one another, working together in love for the good of all. This is what will lead to true peace.  

Nomination Tips:  Do you know a young person who works to overcome violence in their local community? Perhaps they’ve expanded this action to campaign for peace on a national or international scale. Maybe you know a young adult who strives to foster reconciliation in their community, bringing different people together and healing communities, or a young person who has a passion to end bullying.  

Danny Mizen, who along with the Mizen family have worked tirelessly for peace and reconciliation since his brother Jimmy was murdered in 2008, presented the Jimmy Mizen Award for solidarity and peace at the 2019 Awards Ceremony.
