ABOUT THE PROJECT
With the “Peace in Practice” project, we are ready to share our expertise with you, and support you in becoming a change maker for a more peaceful world! As in every SCI training, you will also meet nice people and be able to enjoy an international group of around 30 passionate volunteers and activists! We believe that the TC will increase your self-confidence, make your work more efficient, and help you have a greater impact on your surrounding community and reality!
AIMS
The project aims at inspiring you to be and act as a multiplier/messenger of peace, and create a chain of follow-up actions for promoting and living peace on local, national and international level. It consists of several steps, including:
1. International online training course (30.10-11.11.2020);
2. Creation of a poster with “Peace every day” mind map – 100 ways to live peace in everyday life, which will be available in numerous languages;
3. Local actions for peace organised by the training participants (November 2020 – March 2021).

- deepen your knowledge and understanding of the concept of peace and its different levels
(intrapersonal, interpersonal, with nature), - learn how to live peace and act for peace through small-scale actions that can be done even without
big resources, - get equipped with various peace-related tools and methods you can later use in your work and
everyday life,
- be offered space for safe exchange of good practices, of inspiration, of sharing resources and ideas,
