We see our annual youth exchanges and expert programmes as peace education. The strengthening of anti-democratic forces, progressive global warming, diverse existing and escalating conflicts in the EU and neighbouring partner countries, together with the social after-effects of the pandemic, add up to a scenario of multiple crises. We see this as a mission and learning field for European peace policy youth education. Against the backdrop of Russia's war against Ukraine, the continuation and further development of the "Young Activists for Peace" series took on an unexpected urgency and had to be addressed in every activity. Specifically, two professional training programmes and a youth exchange were implemented as part of the "Young Activists for Peace" series entitled "Young Activists for Peace and Climate Justice" and "Young Activists for Peace promoting non-violent conflict resolution". We also offered a further professional development programme on the topic of "Volunteer coworkers are our base". During the training and youth meeting on "Climate Justice", we taught the participants about the global problems of global warming and the global injustice that goes hand in hand with it. Using examples, they learnt how colonialism, racism and the climate crisis are intertwined, that the Western lifestyle and associated consumption patterns are the cause of the climate crisis and how people in many regions of the global South are already suffering immensely from global warming. Exemplary materials, work units, campaigns, concepts and role models for working towards greater climate justice were presented and their adaptation for educational work with young people was discussed. Participants were supported in their personal engagement with the topic and taught lifestyle and consumption habits that take climate justice into account. In the "Promoting non-violent conflict resolution" training programme, we wanted to make non-violent communication according to Marshall B. Rosenberg and other methods of peaceful conflict transformation usable as skills for youth workers and for peace education work in international groups. Professional trainers taught the participants strategies and skills to communicate empathically with understanding and appreciation and to use these competences in their private and professional environment, thereby contributing to a more peaceful society. Against the backdrop of numerous negative after-effects of the pandemic on the work of youth volunteer service organisations, the "Volunteer coworkers are our base" training offered the participating representatives of ICJA's international partner organisations a forum to exchange ideas on adapted strategies for involving volunteers. The primary goal of continuing to successfully recruit volunteers, qualifying them during their involvement and retaining them in the organisations was addressed on several levels: Learning in exchange about the practices of the participating organisations and from other actors in the field of volunteering. Learning about the strategies and tools of selected experts, taking into account current socio-political dynamics and trends in the field of volunteering. Our activities aim to improve the quality and impact of European youth work and non-formal education in the field of international youth volunteering: The participating voluntary and full-time youth work professionals are encouraged and strengthened in their commitment. They learn about exemplary group processes that their target groups also go through. Like-minded youth work professionals get to know each other and their respective projects and practices; a good basis for future cooperation at European level. Non-violent communication and methods of peaceful conflict transformation are taught as key skills for peace education work in international groups. It was also the overarching goal of all activities to promote the social, civic, environmental and climate engagement of young adults from various EU and neighbouring partner countries and to confront racism and nationalism. Other important questions and contents were: - Where and how can youth workers and youth organisations contribute to peaceful communication in public discourse - Removing barriers for young people with fewer opportunities for inclusion in our youth education programmes - Promoting youth civic engagement for the the values of freedom, tolerance and democratic societies and the Sustainable Development Goals
