After World War II came numerous local, or "small" wars and armed conflicts. Individual states, their coalitions, as well as various socio-political and religious groups within countries repeatedly used a force of weapons to solve territorial, political, economic, ethnoreligious and other problems and disputes. It is important to emphasize that until the early 1990s all postwar armed conflicts took place against the backdrop of acute confrontation between two opposing socio-political systems and military-political blocs – NATO and the WTO (Warsaw Treaty Organization). Therefore, local armed conflicts of that time were viewed mainly as part of the global struggle for spheres of influence between the USA and the USSR. The initial optimistic hopes for peace after the collapse of the bipolar world order model, unfortunately, did not come true. There was a sharp destabilization of the international situation and aggravation of hidden tensions within individual states. The processes taking place in the world are nothing but short of alarming, the world now is facing an unprecedented crisis – there are more and more conflicts every month in 2022. Most of these conflicts between countries and governments have long roots and have been smouldering for years. Russia's invasion of Ukraine lasts more than 2 years now. It has affected the whole world. This is reflected in rising energy prices, food prices in stores, and an increase in the number of starving countries. The war in Ukraine is the bloodiest conflict in Europe since the collapse of Yugoslavia, but it is not the only one on Earth. Right now, military conflicts are going on in dozens of countries around the world. Some of them are provoked by rivalries for power, and others are held under the auspices of the struggle for freedom and independence. Furthermore, battles are fought not only on the battlefields but also on the information fronts. Disinformation campaigns cause concern among the population and call into question the mutual respect of people in other countries. This destroys trust between people and serves the authorities to distract attention from problems in their own country. This is poison for the idea of a united Europe, which goes far beyond the European Union. Our project served the idea to bring people from East and West together and create opportunities for open spaces where they can share fears and experiences so that they do not succumb to one-sided propaganda. The silence of politics must be complemented by engaging young people in non-violent conversation. We are aware that peace and security are more than just the absence of violence. It is important to address the symptoms of violence, as well as the root causes of corruption, inequality and social injustice. In this regard the project pursued the following objectives: 1. The participants learn that war prevention begins in the private sphere. Teaching tolerance and combating discrimination against people is the path to peace. Democracy and inclusive democratic participation are the keys to more peaceful societies. 2. The participants get familiar with the method of Non-violent Communication which aims to move towards more conscious, responsible and respectful communication, cooperation and relations between people. 3. They learn about the history and content of the peace movement. 4. They think creatively about "peace" in the workshops and develop their own ideas about how to create peace in Europe - especially between Eastern and Western Europe. Peacebuilding is a global issue, but we want to shed light on the European dimension and work with young people from very different social systems in Europe with the help of European identity and values. 5. The participants learn more about the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programmes’ goals and the opportunities they offer. The motivation of the EU founding countries was the Second World War and the imperative "this must not happen again". European countries had a need to restore lost connections, build good-neighbourly relations, and maintain peace. In this respect, the project “Peacebuilding in Europe: Give Peace a Chance” aims to help participants get familiarised with the ways of maintaining and strengthening relations of the world and preventing a recurrence of violence.
