Training Course
22-29 November 2023 | Rhodes, Greece
when: 22-29/11/23 (including travel dates — 6 days of training and 2 days of travel)
What you need to know
The project is aimed at preventing violence, fostering non-violent dialogue, and deepening awareness and discourse on conflict transformation and peacebuilding.
We do believe that by equipping participants with those skills and competencies, and by them becoming peace and mindfulness multipliers, we can foster a future culture of peace all over Europe.
We are implementing this project as a collective of youth workers — Iasmos Collective Project in cooperation with the informal network of young peacebuilders — Youth Peace Ambassadors Network.
In the YPAN and Iasmos, among core values we have sustainability and we believe in peace on 3 levels: inner, social, and environmental. Therefore, we will aim with this project to promote sustainability and peace with the environment as well.
AIM
The aim of the project is to raise awareness and sensitize 28 young change-makers on the concepts of common values, conflict transformation, and personal growth through mindfulness and nonviolent communication as a way for peace-building in our communities.
The intention is to equip them with competencies in nonviolent communication, mindfulness, and conflict transformation methods. We want to encourage them to be active citizens and multipliers of the democratic values in their respective communities.
OBJECTIVES
The specific objectives are:
1. To build participants' understanding of peace by making them familiar with the concept of nonviolence, forms of violence, conflict and conflict transformation, peacebuilding, the culture of peace and human rights, interpersonal human rights violations, and mindfulness;
2. To give young people and youth workers space and support to collectively reflect on challenges and conflicts in their local realities and to explore solutions that can guide them to discover their own agency and to provide you with the know-how needed to handle stress, stay grounded and in the present moment.
3. To equip participants with skills to be vocal actors in peacebuilding processes by getting familiar with tools such as conflict analysis, nonviolent communication, and mindfulness, so they can be empowered in participating in democratic life, common values, and civic engagement;
4. To develop skills in facilitation and teaching which will ensure the multiplying effect of the learnings contributing to peace among the young generation growing up in conflict and post-conflict environments;
5. To plan at least 6 follow-up projects by the participants on the topic of active citizenship which would be space for them to act as multipliers in the format of educational workshops run locally.

HOW WE WORK
The training course will be based on the principles of non-formal education. We will implement the basic elements of non-formal education, such as the education being voluntary, organized with educational objectives, participatory and learner-centered, about learning life skills and preparing for active citizenship, based on involving both individual and group learning with a collective approach, holistic and process-oriented, as well as based on experience and action (we will plan the follow-up activities) and starts from the needs of the participants. Basically is a peer-to-peer (you teach & learn from others) approach
Who are we?!
