Background
In the summer of 2002, the International Youth Hostel Federation
launched a global "Youth Hostelling for Peace and International
Understanding" initiative. Created in "response to the dramatic,
violent conflicts that tear cultures and nations apart," Hostelling
International, as a worldwide organization, saw the great need to
work together to strengthen our global community. "Youth Hostelling
for Peace and International Understanding" is designed to highlight
