Europe is being described as the area of stability and prosperity. Europe is often a dream for many migrants. Nevertheless within the Europe there are many different conflicts which rise questions for the future of our continent. Youth work in such areas becomes one of the most difficult as well as urgent issues. How to encourage young people and create safe atmosphere for non-formal learning in suburbs of Paris, in many cities of Balkans (Mitrovica for example) or towns of Transnistria, separatist republic, just between Moldova and Ukraine? The realities of many European regions may differ one from each other, but what are we aiming in our youth work in volatile communities? What are the basic principles of non-formal learning in such contexts? Objectives - To explore the youth work experiences and developments in conflict areas; - To rise the skills and abilities in pro-active interventions in youth field of conflict zones; - To build up the partnerships for future projects within Youth in Action Programme in the area of youth work in unstable, volatile communities;
