BACKGROUND The Peace and Conflict Transformation in Nature training course was designed to equip youth workers with tools to help young people connect with nature as a source of peace and well-being. The training addressed to the growing challenge of disconnection among young people, who often feel isolated and alienated from themselves, others and their environment. Youth workers needed practical skills to foster a relationship with nature as a safe learning space, tools to reflect on conflict with help from nature, and a clearer understanding of their role in guiding young people through conflict transformation. In youth work, conflict resolution is often the dominant approach, with youth workers acting as problem-fixers. We introduced a systemic approach: conflict transformation, which shifts how youth workers engage with young people. This approach focuses on exploring needs and values to support long-term positive change. Rather than simply managing conflicts, it emphasizes understanding needs, taking responsibility, and fostering mutual understanding to prevent future tensions. The training encouraged a shift from viewing the world as a battlefield - with a mindset rooted in struggle, control, and domination, where humans are in conflict with nature and each other - to seeing the world as a lover: inviting a relationship of care, reciprocity, and deep connection. This last perspective encourages people to embrace the Earth with gratitude and responsibility, recognizing that wellbeing and transformation come through love and mutual support rather than force and competition. Participants engaged with proven tools for conflict transformation, integrating nature-based learning as a guide in the process. They explored intercultural perspectives on nature and conflict, learning from indigenous traditions and different cultural approaches to authority, values, and well-being. The training also strengthened youth workers’ ability to hold space for young people, facilitate nature-based learning experiences, and guide them in transforming conflict into an opportunity for growth. OBJECTIVES This training aimed to equip youth workers with the skills and knowledge to integrate nature into their work as a supportive learning environment. Through non-formal activities, participants explored how to foster a reciprocal relationship with nature, engaging with it as a space for personal growth and conflict transformation. A key focus was developing green skills to guide young people in nature, including experiential learning, eco-friendly living, and ecosystem awareness. Additionally, the training strengthened personal peace skills such as holding space, practicing empathy, zooming out to see the bigger picture, and adopting an all-partisan perspective in conflict situations. It also encourages intercultural learning by exploring different cultures perceive of nature and conflict, encouraging intercultural learning and deeper understanding of diverse worldviews. Finally, Youth workers were introduced to concrete tools for conflict transformation, helping them analyze roles, perspectives, needs, and values in conflicts. The course also prepared participants for the upcoming Youth Exchange on Conflict & Nature, ensuring they could effectively support young people in navigating their experiences.
