Ali Altiok

I’m an independent researcher specialized in youth, peace and security agenda and countering securitization of young people.  I’ve been working as a consultant for the United Nations and other non-governmental organizations. 

My work highlights what is transformative to youth agency in peacebuilding and social change. I use participatory action research methodologies and integrate audio-visual tools to capture what young people do, think and resist to build peace and protect their rights.
