According to the Global Peace Index global peacefulness has deteriorated over the past year, especially in the times of Covid19, where rights and pandemic restrictions affected the lives of youth, especially touching employment, living conditions, and opportunities. Acceptance of the rights of others is one of the pillars of positive peace. Peaceful countries should have formal laws that guarantee basic human rights and freedoms, and informal social and cultural norms that relate to the behaviors of citizens. Adopting UN Sustainable Goal n 16 on peace, justice and security also represents the need to work in this field. This shows that there is a need for equipping young people with tools to raise awareness about how human rights are implemented, protected, and unfortunately often violated. The project examined the interplay between human rights and peace, and the involvement of young people in translating those values in every day life. As young people, we realized it became necessary to be equipped with methods and tools that will enable us to recognize the interpersonal behaviors violating human rights and peace and address them with the tools which will build a culture of peaceful coexistence in diverse societies. We implemented this project as a collective of youth workers - Iasmos in cooperation with the informal network of young peacebuilders - Youth Peace Ambassadors Network. The aim of the project was to sensitize 26 youth workers and young activists to be agents of change in the creation of peaceful coexistence and foundations of democratic and peaceful societies, by equipping them with competencies in nonviolent communication, mindfulness, nonviolent conflict transformation to be active citizens and multipliers of the democratic values in their respective communities. The specific objectives were: 1. To build participants understanding of human rights and peace by making them familiar with the concept of nonviolence, various forms of violence, conflict, peacebuilding, the culture of peace and human rights, interpersonal human rights violations and mindfulness;; 2. To give young people and youth workers space and support to collectively reflect on challenges to human rights in their local realities and to explore solutions that can guide them to discover their own agency; 3. To equip participants with skills to be vocal actors in peacebuilding processes by getting familiar with tools such as conflict analysis, nonviolent communication, and mindfulness; 4. To develop skills in facilitation and teaching which will ensure the multiplying effect of the learnings contributing to peace among the young generation growing up in conflict and post-conflict environments; 5. To enable young people to engage in a diverse, connected, and inclusive Europe by creating a Hub and encourage networking among the participants; 6. To develop at least 6 follow-up projects by the participants on the topic of active citizenship which would be space for them to act as multipliers in the format of educational workshops run locally. The project was aiming at preventing conflict and violence, fostering dialogue, and deepening awareness and discourse on conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Nonviolent Communication is based on the principles of nonviolence, the natural state of compassion when no violence is present in the heart. NVC begins by assuming that we are all compassionate by nature and that violent strategies—whether verbal or physical—are learned behaviors taught and supported by the prevailing culture. NVC also assumes that we all share the same, basic human needs and that all actions are a strategy to meet one or more of these needs. People who practice NVC have found greater authenticity in their communication, increased understanding, deepened connection, and conflict resolution. For this purpose, we used techniques such as mindfulness among others. Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention to the present. This state is described as observing one’s thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad. Mindfulness encompasses two key ingredients: awareness and acceptance. Awareness is the knowledge and ability to focus attention on one’s inner processes and experiences, such as the experience of the present moment. Acceptance is the ability to observe and accept—rather than judge or avoid—those streams of thought. The issue which we were seeking to address through this training is the growth of violence in our societies in the format of interpersonal violence and lack of competencies of young people to actively engage in building peaceful alternatives to interpersonal human rights violations. The needs which we would liked to fulfill by the project is to equip young people with tools to be able to act as active citizens, peacebuilders, and multipliers of values and competences building a culture of peace and culture of human rights.
