The project Bridges Not Walls aimed to strengthen the capacities of youth workers from Germany, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Serbia, Romania, Cyprus, Turkey, and Slovakia to prevent and address radicalisation while promoting non-violence, social cohesion, democratic participation, and dialogue within their communities. The project was developed in response to increasing challenges identified by partner organisations and youth workers across EU Member States, EU candidate countries, and Eastern Partnership countries. Participating organisations reported growing concerns regarding political polarisation, discrimination, hate speech, violent narratives, social exclusion, and different forms of radicalisation affecting young people. While manifestations differed across countries, common challenges included extremist narratives online and offline, societal divisions, identity-based tensions, distrust between groups, and limited opportunities for constructive dialogue. In Germany, Slovakia, Serbia, and Romania, youth workers reported growing concerns regarding right-wing extremism, nationalist narratives, and social polarisation. In Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, and Cyprus, youth workers highlighted the impact of unresolved conflicts, historical grievances, and social tensions. Across all partner countries, participants identified a need for practical educational approaches enabling youth workers to respond through non-formal education, peacebuilding, dialogue facilitation, and youth empowerment. Against this background, the project pursued several interconnected objectives. First, the project aimed to develop a deeper understanding of conflicts and radicalisation dynamics among young people, exploring the relationship between identity, belonging, exclusion, discrimination, violence, and conflict. Second, it aimed to enhance the ability of youth workers to recognise early warning signs of radicalisation and respond through preventive, educational, and dialogue-based approaches. Third, the project equipped youth workers with practical methodologies for non-violent conflict transformation and de-radicalisation, including non-violent communication, dialogue facilitation, peace education, participation, empowerment, trauma-sensitive approaches, and non-formal education. Fourth, through a Training Course in Georgia and a Study Visit in Germany, participants explored and adapted best-practice methods for their own communities and organisations. Fifth, the project fostered sustainable cooperation, intercultural learning, exchange of experiences, and peer learning. Sixth, it contributed to the development and sharing of educational resources and good practices for future youth workers and facilitators. Finally, the project supported the transfer of learning into practice through dissemination activities, local follow-up initiatives, and future international cooperation. Participants were encouraged to share the acquired knowledge within their organisations and communities, implement small local initiatives on de-radicalisation, and remain connected through a growing transnational network of practitioners working in peace education, conflict transformation, social cohesion, and prevention of radicalisation. Overall, the project sought to strengthen youth workers’ and partner organisations' commitment and capacity to promote non-violence, dialogue, inclusion, democratic participation, and resilience against radicalisation, thereby contributing to more peaceful, inclusive, and cohesive communities at local, national, and international levels. Through the exchange of practices, educational resources, and new partnerships, participating organisations aimed to integrate innovative approaches into their regular youth work, expand international cooperation, and strengthen their ability to address radicalisation, social cohesion, and youth participation sustainably. In line with the Erasmus+ Youth priorities, the project strengthened democratic participation, active citizenship, inclusion, intercultural dialogue, and respect for diversity. By equipping youth workers with competences to address polarisation, discrimination, hate speech, and exclusion, the project empowered young people to participate constructively in democratic processes, engage in dialogue across differences, and contribute to more inclusive and cohesive communities.
