In recent years, the world has seen a rise in conflicts and instability in several regions, affecting millions of lives and challenging the foundations of peace and cooperation. From the ongoing war in Sudan and the escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict to the war in Ukraine and tensions in Libya, these conflicts have caused widespread displacement, social division, and uncertainty about the future. The impact of these conflicts is not limited to the affected regions, youths everywhere are increasingly exposed to division, polarization, and social instability. In order to determine the needs of our project we looked both at global statistics as well as conducted a Needs Asessment on partner youth communities. For the Needs Assesment we used a Google form survey on 103 youths from partners communities(aprox18 respondents per partner): Our results: -94 out of 103 expressed concern over global conflicts and their impact on youth(like exposure to violence, political instability, and economic hardships) -98/103 believed that intercultural dialogue and education on conflict resolution are a must but not sufficiently addressed in their communities -72/103 experienced discrimination, social exclusion, economic marginalization -103/103 want to gain practical skills in peacebuilding,advocacy, civic engagement -88/103 feel excluded from decision-making processes, disempowered and unheard In 2023, a record number of 59 conflicts were recorded, marking the highest level since the end of the Cold War. According to the Institute for Economics and Peace, an estimated 408 million youth aged 15-29 years old reside in areas where armed conflict occurred, representing nearly 1 in 4 youth worldwide (https://n9.cl/v88fp). In 2024, Germany received 18,000 asylum applications, 21% of the total applications in the EU, being the top receiver country, being a primary destination for people fleeing conflict regions, impacting the nation's youth through the need for integration initiatives. Turkiye also hosts one of the largest refugee populations globally, with approximately 3.6 million registered Syrian refugees as of mid-2023. In Romania, a study by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation revealed that 59% of Romanian youth fear the outbreak of war, making it one of their primary concerns and also increasing their anxiety levels. In Ukraine, a recent study by UNDP, titled "The Impact of War on Youth in Ukraine", reveals a growing severity of war-related losses, with social connections deteriorating, the percentage of youth experiencing relationship breakdowns with friends or family has risen from 18% to 27%. More, 42% of youth in Ukraine cite health concerns, both their own and their loved ones’ as their primary worry, showing the long-term impact of the conflict on youth well-being. A study examining the impact of the Gaza War on students in Egypt found that general distress increased among Egyptian students during the conflict, and the need for mental, psychological, and social support activities for youth during periods of regional instability increased. In Tunisia, despite making up about 60% of the population, many youths remain disengaged from formal political processes. In the 2024 presidential election, voter turnout among youth was particularly low, with only 6% of individuals aged 18-35 casting their ballots, compared to 65% participation among those aged 36 to 60. This project will bring together 48 youths (7+1) from DE, TR, RO, UA, TN, EG, for 8 days, in a multicultural environment to explore peacebuilding and intercultural dialogue through non-formal education.Min. 24 participants will be with fewer opportunities(facing socio-economic challenges, migration, limited access to opportunities). The project will focus on promoting mutual understanding, developing practical skills in conflict resolution, and promoting youth participation in civic life. Working together across borders and cultures, the participants will build bridges of dialogue and cooperation, creating a generation of youth ambassadors for peace and active citizenship. Our SMART objectives: 1.Increase the knowledge and awareness of 48 youths aged 18-30y.o, from partners' communities, from Europe and the Mediterranean region, about global conflicts and their root causes, over the duration of our YE. 2.To cultivate a culture of advocacy and activism among 48 youths, raising awareness about human rights violations and injustices. 3.Strengthen intercultural dialogue and empathy among 48 youths from partners communities from the EU, Eastern Neighborhood, and Mediterranean countries, promoting peacebuilding and mutual understanding 4.To promote the EU values of democracy, human rights, and cultural diversity among 48 young people, raising awareness about the Erasmus+ opportunities 5.Enhance the capacity of the 6 partner NGOs to support youth-led peace initiatives, building a cross-regional network for future projects that connect Europe and the Mediterranean
