Youth for Peace 
Community Peace Museums Heritage Foundation
Kenya, Africa

In 2015, the Community Peace Museums Heritage Foundation (CPMHF) of Kenya partnered with Culture without Borders (CwB), the UK-based NGO, to launch the Youth for Peace (Y4P) project from 2014 to 2015. This initiative aimed to empower Kenyan youth as advocates for peace-building through school peace clubs, leveraging African cultural traditions to promote acceptance of ethnic diversity.

In August 2015, a Youth for Peace conference was held in Nairobi, focusing on empowering youth as change agents. During the project, Kimberly played several roles as a PhD researcher, collaborator, lecturer, and workshop facilitator. As a researcher, she examined the role of youth in peace-building within her broader PhD study, "Wayfinding Peace: Museums in Conflict Zones." As a collaborator, she helped organize the Y4P Conference, including action plans and materials. At the conference, she presented "When Is The Time For Peace?" highlighting the experiences of Canadian youth in peace initiatives. Additionally, she facilitated a youth exhibit showcasing ten Y4P projects through various creative expressions.
