This project was developed to train youth workers to integrate Peace Education in youth work. The project spanned a period of ten months (an entire “school year”), combining virtual and in-person meetings. A, the non-formal education provided in the youth work setting is an ideal way to introduce youth to peacebuilding, as most schools have not integrated peace education. It provides them with practical tools to improve their personal well-being, social skills –particularly solving conflicts– citizenship competences and a positive outlook on the future. Peace Education is a crucial way to create a Culture of Peace, a much needed concept in these turbulent times. Both youth and adults living in Europe worry about the geopolitical developments and the climate crisis, which form existential threats. These worries leads to the questions: How we can overcome these challenges and establish a healthier (non-suicidal), peaceful, sustainable lifestyle. And how can we start doing this in our own environment? There are many stressors in youth work that make skills in cultivating inner peace and interpersonal peace crucial. 68% of youth in Europe experience conflict or discrimination within their social environments according to a report published by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights in 2023. Conflicts can arise when there are tensions between youth from different cultural backgrounds, or when youth come from violent households, or turn to violent behaviors or ideologies due to other challenges in their lives. And political tensions and climate change are other stressors impacting mental-emotional health, so giving youth ideas about how to act on these will empower them and increase their well-being. SVAG developed training courses over the last decade to explore peace on four dimensions: the personal, interpersonal, societal-cultural and planetary. Inner peace entails developing a sense of calm, contentment, security, resilience and mental health. Interpersonal peace is about constructive ways of dealing with conflict and treating each other with respect. Peace at the societal-cultural level involves reforming institutions and cultural norms and expressions. The planetary level concerns sustainability and ecology. The levels build on each other: the personal gives the basic strategies for youth workers to maintain mental-emotional health, which allows them to support youth better in general and during conflicts, which will create a more peaceful and inclusive atmosphere in which youth can work on the social-cultural and global levels. The aim of the ToT is to increase the peacebuilding capacity of each organization, by empowering youth workers with peacebuilding skills, as well as facilitation and organizational skills, to implement peace education. The objectives of the project were to empower youth workers by: 1. enhancing their skills to work on inner peace, enabling them to support the youth in a peaceful manner, and assist them with their mental health; 2. developing their skills to work on peace on the inter-personal level, enabling them to de-escalate conflicts, mediate and resolve them in their youth groups and create peaceful group dynamics; 3. improving their facilitation skills, so that they can effectively deliver peace education content to youth; 4. creating a network of youth workers who are motivated to work with peace education and can support each other to do so, cooperate and exchange best practices.
