The London 2012 Olympic Peace Campaign brought youths from conflict areas around the world to London to train as UNESCO Olympic Youth Peace Ambassadors, and set up a global network that would train other youth peace ambassadors to work on a country-by-country basis with international support and coordination, tracking the Olympic events that lead to the next Olympics in Brazil 2016, aiming to ensure a genuine period of peace is established in each country. This report details the London event, looks at the difficulties of implementing the Olympic Truce, and offers strategies and solutions that can be applied directly to making the implementation of the Truce a success by Brazil 2016.
