Call for participants: “From Conflict to Collaboration: Building a Culture of Peace in Diverse Communities”

Learn about conflict resolution, community building and connect with inspiring participants from 11 countries.

The “Peace in Diversity” project develops conflict resolution skills in youth leaders, equips professionals and volunteers with tools for peacebuilding in daily lives, enhances partner organisations’ capacity as peace promoters, and takes co-responsibility for the peaceful future of Europe.
In particular, we aim to:
  • demonstrate to the young people that peace starts with how we treat our neighbours and community members and motivate them to consciously support peaceful coexistence;
  • equip professionals and volunteers with expertise and tools to build and sustain peace on a micro level among the youth living in diverse groups and communities;
  • work with the youth so that they grow into leaders who can resolve conflicts without recourse to any type of violence.
The project foresees 2 international training courses (April and November 2024), local follow-up actions, the “Tools for Peace” webinar series, and an online workshop.
 
One of these trainings is “From Conflict to Collaboration: Building a Culture of Peace in Diverse Communities” 
When: April 2nd – 9th, 2024
Where: Herentals, Belgium
 
During this week-long program, you’ll:
  • Acquire practical tools for conflict resolution and community building.
  • Connect with inspiring individuals from 11 different countries.
  • Experience the beauty of the Flemish countryside while engaging in meaningful learning experiences.
If you’re ready to seize this incredible opportunity and be part of something truly impactful, apply now before it’s too late! You can see the call for applications here. You can also access the application form here.

As an organisation that values peace, inclusion, nonviolence and human rights, and like many like minded organisations did, we decided to stop using X as a social media platform for our communication. With the leadership and actions of its CEO, the platform has become a danger to democracy and the values that we hold dear, supporting an unchecked spread of misinformation and hate speech. While...
