Training Courses
Training courses are one of our main activities as a way to build up the skills of young peacebuilders and as a space for exchange of experiences, networking, dialogue and building bonds of friendship and solidarity among young people from different backgrounds.
Activities combine methodologies developed by non-formal education in youth work, peace education, community development and intercultural learning. They have a participatory approach based on the experience and opinions of participants. The methods consist of a combination of presentations (using audio-visual materials), group work, on-line forums, simulation exercises and role plays (experiential learning), visits to organizations, specific actions and individual reflection.
The programmes are guided by principles of peace education pedagogy:
- To build a democratic and sustainable community;
- We are all teachers and students of each other;
- To develop moral sensitivity;
- To promote critical thinking;
- To enhance self-esteem.
