Neutral Conflict

Training Course

11-18 August 2022 | Serbia, Serbia

A project with 2 international activities (Serbia/Spain) to learn, understand and transform conflicts. It will focus on communities, human rights, and peacebuilding. It will empower and mentor you to become an active changemaker in your local community.

The Neutral Conflict project was designed by a group of international youth workers and activists — members of the Youth Peace Ambassadors Network (YPAN) — working in the field of peacebuilding and Human Rights, especially in conflict-affected communities.

We want to change things, we want to be heard, and we want youth to be part of society's decisions. Especially, concerning conflicts in intercultural or local communities.

The aim of the project is to equip youth workers, activists, and trainers with competencies in nonviolent conflict transformation, nonviolent communication, and emotional literacy, in order to be leaders in building a sustainable culture of peace and respect for human rights by working at the grassroots level in their respective communities.

OBJECTIVES

To provide participants with practical tools for peaceful and nonviolent conflict transformation, mediation, and emotional literacy in the context of youth work and youth engagement in conflict-stricken regions.
To develop the skills of participants in the field of emotional literacy as a tool for conflict transformation
To provide participants with knowledge of concepts on peace, nonviolence, various forms of violence, conflict, peacebuilding, the culture of peace, and human rights.
To understand the importance of nonviolent conflict transformation and its links to the context of human right
To map the realities in the participating countries on how conflict and violence affect local communities and practicing human rights;
To facilitate the process of planning at least 6 follow-up activities at the grassroots level leading to tackling local conflicts and aiming for its transformation

The activities (training) will take place in:
- Serbia — 11-18 August 2022

In the meantime between the activities, we will run online meetings and mentorship programs to support the creation of local workshops.
