Details:
Peace+ is a one week training course for youth workers to acquire knowledge and professional skills in nonviolence and peacebuilding, so that they can integrate these in their work. It is build on a two week training course from last year, Towards a Nonviolent World (ToNoWo). The training will focus on several core concepts from Johan Galtung, such as 'positive peace', (which refers to the title "Peace+"), structural violence, cultural violence and direct violence, and gives exercises to practice Constructive Nonviolence and Peacebuilding.
Aim and objectives:
The over-all aim is to empower youth workers by knowledge, skills, insights and experiences so they can build a culture of peace and sustain peaceful international relations in and around the EU.
The objectives are:
• To give youth workers the chance to reflect on nonviolence and their way of dealing with it in their personal and professional life, offering tools to resolve conflicts, possibly prevent them and build more peace in both their jobs and private lives.
• To present the opportunity to practice conflict resolution and communication skills in a culturally diverse setting, so that youth workers can understand the democratic principle 'agree to disagree', as well as the principle 'different but equal'.
• To counter radicalization of youth by letting them experience and understand ‘positive peace’ (valuing diversity and establish respect in community building), structural and cultural violence, meaning they challenge and deconstructing prejudices and get a birds-eye perspective on how different social problems are inter-connected in systems of violence.
• To facilitate intercultural understanding and cooperation as well as synergy in the field of youth work, by exchanging insights and knowledge among youth workers during (and after) the program and develop connections among them.
The program:
The training is 8 days (+ 2 travel days). Participants will learn more about responses to violence, forms of violence, forms of nonviolent action, historical examples, elements for a culture of peace and nonviolence, including dealing with cultural and religious diversity, and practical tools such as Non-Violent Communication and campaigning. All the workshops involve acquiring knowledge, understanding attitudes and behaviour, and practicing skills through sharing, collaborative assignments, role-plays, reading and exchanging knowledge. Learning will also take place outside the workshops: living in a communal building is a chance to create a peaceful society on a micro level. Moreover, participants create a new network that they can use for future projects.
