Working Together For Peace
What is this project about?
Working together for peace is an activity for 50 youth workers from differnt organisations that will take place in Utøya, Norway. The training will study in depth the three levels of peace education: inner, relational and global. Peace education is a crucial issue for creating a more equal, just and sustainable world. Youth workers act as a critical voice to demand accountability from governments and policy makers, providing a space for education and critical thinking and launching the struggle for peace in our societies.
Participants will explore the realities and different levels in relation to the issue, share good practices, participate in capacity building training and present their own action plans and workshops. This will raise awareness of the importance of promoting peace values education at all levels.
