Study session organised in cooperation with YMCA Europe 

The purpose of this study session is to develop the competences of some thirty-five youth leaders and enhance the local capacities for peace in Europe by empowering them to act as advocates and multipliers of peace and reconciliation. This will be pursued by raising the awareness and sharing the experience and know-how of YMCA Europe and the Council of Europe in peace education and conflict transformation work.

Through the programme, the participants will acquire the basics of peace building and conflict transformation methods and tools with a particular focus on how to apply them into youth work at a local level. By the end of the session, the participants are expected to develop initiatives to promote peace and dialogue within their sending organisations and/or own communities.

The session is part of the Youth for Democracy programme of the Council of Europe and closely related to the priority Living Together in Peaceful and Inclusive Societies.
