“For a Future to Come – International Youth Work on Conflict Management” is planned to run for 27 months. It is dedicated to promote the Youth in Action Programme and to encourage Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to work on conflict management. The main aim of the project is to train youth workers from European Union and Eastern European and Caucasian ( EECA) countries on conflict resolution. A Trans-European youth network will be established which will consist of NGOs that deal with inter-personal and inter-cultural conflicts at local, national and international levels. More about the project.
Selection of the Youth Exchanges!
The organisation team of the Large Scale Project "For a future to come – International Youth Work on Conflict Management", is currently choosing the three Youth Exchanges which will be implemented during summer 2008. These three events will be picked up from the most relevant projects which have been created during the Contact Making Seminars of end 2007 in Georgia and Germany. At the end of February 2008 the news will be spread from here. Keep in touch!
Contact Making Seminar, Potsdam, Germany
The CMS in Potsdam, 14th to 19th of December 2007, gathered participants from the Training Courses on conflict management of last summer with, as well, representatives of other youth organisations. The participants coming from all over Europe followed a programme aiming at knowing each other, building confidence between organisations and youth workers across Europe, and that, in order to create youth projects of quality. The main concerns were conflict management and peace building activities. Download the report here.
