ABOUT THE PROJECT

Taking into account the recent wide spread of extremist movements across Europe, the existing internal and international conflicts within the European Union and the neighboring countries as well as the ongoing refugee crisis and ‘frozen’ political conflicts in Eastern Europe and Caucasus, we consider it highly important to gather youth workers and activists from EU and non-EU countries to facilitate a discussion on: common unity factors, how to practice non-violent communication and to share practical tools on conflict management and transformation.

Finding a common ground is crucial for youth workers and peace builders of today. This will be achieved by promoting non-violent approach leading to actions on peace-building and promotion of human rights. Moreover, youth workers involved will discuss the significance of the role of youth participation in grass-root peace-building initiatives.

 

After the first part of the project which was a training in Armenia, the participants will have a project implementation phase, when they will be working on the follow-up activities back in their countries. The project implementation phase will help the participants to practice gained knowledge and skills.

 

Now we have come to the last part of the project, the evaluation seminar in Belgrade, Serbia and we are looking for 2 more participants who will get engaged in the follow up activity (together with the youth worker who attended the first training) and will attend the evaluation seminar.
