UNOY Peacebuilders together with their partners U Move 4 Peace in Belgium, PATRIR in Romania, and YERITAC in Armenia has completed Partners for Peace - A toolkit for setting up European Youth Peace Projects in partnership.

The toolkit introduces youth peace organisations to partnership and working together on projects and exchanges. It provides the reader with some theoretical background, as well as hands on examples and tips for how to best communicate with partners. It takes the reader through every stage of a partnership, from concepts, to feasibility and proposal writing, to planning and the actual implementation, before concluding with how to evaluate and follow up on the project. It also includes an annex with useful information such as templates for task division and partnership contracts.
