<< Objectives >>The project Peace Education in Times of Crises brings together organizations from Estonia, Finland and Poland in order to provide youth workers and other educators with non-formal tools in Peace Education (PE). Our activities aim at reducing destructive conflict and tension, reducing polarization and preventing extremism, and through our targeted intervention for youth and youth workers, we will increase societal cohesion, foster participation and promote dialogue in the society at large.<< Implementation >>Our project consists of 3 main streams. Firstly, we will focus on building the capacity of partner organizations in PE and on increasing our understanding of the context of societal tensions and peace-building in each country. Secondly, we will develop an online course with inspiring approaches, methods and techniques that meet the current needs of educators working with youth. Finally, we will implement trainings and learning circles to enable further self-development in PE for youth workers.<< Results >>Youth workers play a critical role in cultivating solidarity, empathy and respect for diversity among young people. They are often the first responders to conflicts that arise among the youth. This project provides them with competencies and tools in times of several crises. As a result of our action, we will create a network of youth workers and PE actors at national and international levels, provide training to 200+ educators in 3 countries, and contribute to fostering peace in our societies.
