Young people today are affected by militarized contexts: Military conscription for youth, especially young men, is in place still in several European countries (such as Austria) and is about to be introduced in others (such as Kosovo). Young refugees arriving in Europe often had to flee from violent conflicts. In some parts of Europe (such as Kosovo), young people themselves still remember war and need to live with its devastating consequences. And in more subtle ways, militarized thinking is present in every young person’s everyday life, be it in video games, military ads or politicians using “war” metaphors when talking about a pandemic. The war in Ukraine has accelerated and multiplied all of these developments and poses a big threat to peacebuilding efforts in Europe. There are not a lot of spaces for young people to critically reflect on militatrization and even less to become active citizens around them. We need more and better educational projects and activist projects around peace and non-violence. Among the biggest networks of peace organisations in Europe, only SCI has extensive experience of working with youth in the context of non-formal education and Erasmus+. There is a chance for more collaboration across networks that we could tap into in order to create more and better projects. The objectives of the project were: - to strengthen and promote values of peace and non-violence among youth workers and young people, especially those affected directly by militarized contexts (such as war trauma, mandatory military services) - to promote active citizenship, political participation and civic engagement of young people around peace and non-violence - to exchange tools and methods for non-formal education and activism around working with youth on peace and non-violence - to come up with new and innovative methods for non-formal education and activism around working with youth on peace and non-violence - to increase the quality and quantity of youth projects around peace and non-violence - to create a stronger connection between different networks of European peace organisations - to exchange experiences around peace and non-violence between young people and youth workers from different European countries - to add more methods and best practices of non-formal education and activism around working with youth on peace and non-violence to the toolkit “Peace on the Streets”
