RadioPeace Training Format
A Music, Dance & Rhythm Training Guide for Youth
Inclusion, Dialogue & Peace-Building
Aims of the tool
Intended for youth workers, teachers, cultural mediators and peer facilitators aged eighteen and above, the curriculum is modular: workshops can stand alone, combine into thematic clusters or fill an entire week-long residential training. While examples draw heavily on Balkan, Italian and pan-European traditions, instructions explicitly encourage localisation—any community’s rhythms, dances or visual motifs can substitute the ones described without altering learning goals. By bridging rigorous design with flexible implementation, this volume equips practitioners across Europe to rehearse peace in action: one beat, brushstroke and shared breath at a time.
Description of the tool
This guide gathers 13 workshops identified or developed from the RADIOPEACE project partners. Each chapter tells a full story: how to warm up the room, lead the activity, debrief for learning, adapt for mobility or cultural context, and evaluate impact. It documents, in minute-byminute detail, sessions that have already proven their worth on the ground. It models a design methodology that readers can adapt—observe, cocreate, test, refine—to their own artistic traditions and community needs. And it argues, through its very structure, that peace is a skill rehearsed in the body long before it is codified in policy. The workshops range from body-percussion jams that mirror the arc of conflict and reconciliation, through collaborative painting that translates music into colour, to choreographic labs where personal “identity motifs” weave into a shared dance narrative. Every page is anchored in the same vision: arts are living, portable instruments for peace-building and youth empowerment.
