SCI Re-granting Scheme to EU members

Events and activities

SCI Poland celebrated its 30th anniversary by inaugurating the Peace Education Centre on September 20th with a conference on “How to Educate on Peace in Times of War.” The event brought together experts, stakeholders, and former members to discuss peace education.

The celebrations continued with an Open Day, featuring interactive workshops, games, and quizzes on nonviolent communication, offering visitors a hands-on introduction to SCI Poland’s mission.

Capacity building was a key focus, with two specialized training sessions. A two-day workshop equipped peace educators and students with conflict resolution tools like the “onion method” and nonviolent communication. A second training on December 12th engaged nine volunteers in creative crafts, fostering collaboration and cultural awareness.

The project concluded with “+1000 Aura Points if You Act for Peace,” a school initiative with 15 challenges promoting teamwork and peace-building. Students managed small-scale projects, receiving highly positive feedback.

Impact and Key Results

Beyond welcoming new participants, the project significantly expanded SCI Poland’s network of contacts among local and international youth, as well as generated new collaborations with schools, broadening its impact to a more diverse student and teacher population. Feedback from the participants indicates increased knowledge and confidence in conflict resolution and the ability to prevent potential disagreements. 

The Centre itself became a vital hub, seamlessly connecting and integrating all of their educational initiatives. It serves as a central point for promoting peace education, offering a dynamic space where educators, students, and partners can come together to exchange ideas, share resources, and collaborate on best practices. 

The project also highlighted SCI’s presence in the third sector within the Polish community and additionally helped reflect on the future of their operations.
