The Conflict Mapping Training

Training Course

7-12 October 2019 | Cercedilla, Madrid, Spain

A proactive approach to the resolution and prevention techniques of conflicts within the Human Rights doctrine. As young peace activists, we believe that you can be the one that shapes the situation from a local perspective to bring a global action

Conflict Mapping project was designed by the group of international youth workers and activists — members of YPAN — working in the peacebuilding field. We are living in times of difficult political context, where war and violence are still seen as a primary tool for conflicts resolution. We also a deep need to explore with young people peaceful alternatives to conflict, and here is where our compass will try to make the change.

The aim of the project is to empower 24 youth leaders to act as new changemakers in the local and regional conflicts in Europe by using human rights and peacebuilding mediation and strengthening their skills in the conflict transformation and community building that includes all opinions and leads to the participation of all society (including people with less resources).

WITH AN AIM… COMES THE OBJECTIVES…

To develop participants competences in conflict transformation by exploring perspectives of human rights, peacebuilding and democratic participation.
To improve participants skills in data analysis and research to map violent conflicts (based on the root-causes method) and how they affect young people.
To empower participants to actively engage in solving the violent conflicts that are ongoing or may appear in Europe at the behavioral, cultural or structural level.
To explore tools for nonviolent conflict resolution, such as mediation, community meetings, non-violent communication, deconstruction of the image of “the other”, intercultural learning and the principle of inclusivity.
To plan local actions in the participants` communities in the format of community meetings in order to provide the counter-narrative preventing escalation of tensions.
To enhance international cooperation of youth workers in the area of conflict prevention and transformation, by planning cross-border actions focussing on community building as a counter-balance for violent conflicts.
To strengthen the sustainability of the network of young changemakers who will bring awareness for the citizens and policy-makers in the EU and neighboring countries on the existing conflicts and ways to transform them.
