Objectives

The goal of Youth for a peaceful society is to provide an overview of how to transform conflicts via non-violent actions. In the modern age with fights at football matches the migration crisis culminating and extremist political parties being active all over Europe, we feel the need of equipping youth workers with skills of peacebuilding and non-violent communication, which they can transfer to youth. Young people are easily affected by populist calls, which can harm Europe in the long term. Our objectives for the project are: - promoting peacebuilding by introducing past successful non-violent actions, that made real impact - giving skills and tools for transforming conflicts in both personal and professional life. - making participants aware of their role in civic society and promote activism and responsibility - build on participant's current competencies in non-formal education and peacebuilding - make participants able to spread the ideas and knowledge on non-violent actions to young people Europe-wide.
