In 2023, the City of Osnabrück celebrated 375 Years of the Peace of Westphalia. This peace treaty is the reason why Osnabrück bears the title City of Peace. To mark the end of the anniversary year, the city hosted the Youth Empowerment Lab, bringing together young people from all over the world and experts from the fields of research, business, art, culture and religion. The goal from the very beginning was to empower youth and strengthen their perspectives and ideas for a more peaceful future.
