Abstract
Focusing on youth movement in Egypt during the time of unrest and revolts, this chapter is based on my research that explores the potential insights and lessons that can be deduced from the case of Selmiyah (peaceful), a grass-roots movement that is aiming to spread the culture of peace through different dimensions and channels.
