A bridge for Peace & Democracy

Our invites you to partnership in project of international youth exchange with name "A bridge for Peace & Democracy“. Project will be organized in East Tunisia from 15th till 23rd September 2016 . In these days we are in our team finalizing project proposal and list of the planned activities.

Increasing recognition of the essential role of youth in peace building is now beginning to manifest itself in efforts to actualize that role. The future moral, social, and political challenge will be to see whether humanity can mobilize the energy, creativity, and vision of youth in pursuit of peace as successfully as it has in pursuit of war. Given that the international focus on youth and peace building has only emerged relatively recently, the mechanisms for engaging youth in peace building, and the content of that engagement, are still in the early stages of experimentation.

A final important motivation for including youth in peacebuilding largely rejects the idea that youth should be targeted as a result of the threat they may pose and contends instead that youth are actually characterized by specific qualities and features that are particularly conducive to peacebuilding. In this view, young people are understood as unique contributors, indeed the likely leaders, of successful peacebuilding efforts; and they are, in fact, the primary enablers of social change. The traits of creativity, openness to new experiences, and desire for change, combined with the energy and vitality that we associate with youth, are all elements of the distinctive capabilities of youth to build peace.

This is the reason, why we decided to gather young people from at least 10 countries to exchange the experiences about the peace building and about war in their countries in past or in present times. Especially in connection to actual situation in Ukraine, we would be glad to cooperate also with partner organizations from Ukraine, Moldavia, Poland, Belorussia and Hungary in order to discuss the real means of support and the idea of eastern partnership that are actually being re-considered, pointing out the role of the civil society in this process. .

We are looking for partners from programme countries (EU28), partner countries from Eastern Partnershipan and North Africa and the Middle East. Please note that every partner should be registered on Participant portal,
