Objectives

With this project, we aim to empower 25 youth leaders to act as new changemakers in the local and regional conflicts in Europe and in the neighborhood countries, by using human rights and peacebuilding mediation and strengthening their skills in conflict transformation and community building that includes all opinions and leads to the participation of all society (including people with less resources). The objectives are: To develop participants' competences in conflict transformation by exploring perspectives of human rights, peacebuilding and democratic participation. To improve participants' skills in data analysis and research to map violent conflicts (based on the root-causes method and other conflict mapping tools) and how they affect young people. To empower participants to be actively engaged in transforming the violent conflicts that are ongoing or may appear in Europe and in Tunisia at the behavioral, cultural or structural levels. To explore tools for nonviolent conflict resolution and foster peacebuilding, such as community meetings, non-violent communication, dialogue, deconstruction of the image of “the other”, intercultural learning and the principle of inclusivity. To equip participants with know-how on innovative peace-building tools, such as: media literacy, combating hate speech, critical thinking and visual arts for peace; To plan local actions in the participants` communities in the format of community meetings in order to provide the counter-narrative preventing the escalation of tensions. To plan at least 5 follow-up actions and promote a culture of peace in participants’ local communities; To enhance international cooperation of youth workers in the area of conflict prevention and transformation, by planning cross-border actions focussing on community building as a counterbalance for violent conflicts. To strengthen the sustainability of the network of young changemakers who will bring awareness for the citizens and policy-makers in the EU and neighboring countries on the existing conflicts and ways to transform them, as well as foster a culture of peace.
