Objectives

From INner to OUTer Peace and Beyond is a youth exchange that aims to promote both inner and outer peace. It will help participants acquire the appropriate skills to become peacemakers and discover ways to resolve their conflicts in their everyday life and in their countries as well. It will show them that we can all live together no matter how different we are. We will try and find the roots of the problems that cause conflicts between different groups or communities, through non formal education activities and we are going to provide them with the knowledge and skills needed to avoid violence and find ways to peacefully resolve conflicts. The objectives of this youth exchange are: -Develop critical and creative thinking skills Enhance social integration in European - and not only - cities and countries Build a community based on dialogue and encourage participants to see each other as valuable resources for creating change Cultivate the belief that all peace starts from individual inner peace and stretch the importance of self-care and mental well being. Equip and empower participants to work on their inner peace and well being, to enrich, enhance and assist the effects of their peace building actions. Encourage and empower participants to become leaders and more active citizens and address problems in their own communities. Exchange their experiences and develop - through them - skills in the context of real world situations. Discover new cultures, habits and life-styles, mainly through peer-learning and thus develop attitudes of intercultural understanding, tolerance and acceptance. Strengthen values like solidarity, democracy, friendship, peace. Prevent violent radicalisation of young people. Recognise and celebrate the diversity of multi faceted 21st century Europe, as stereotypes and prejudices are broken and mutual understanding is fostered, and use it as a tool for peace.
