Call for Training Course Peace in Action
About the project
The project Peace in Action is an Erasmus+ Training Course for youth workers that will take place from 1–8 May 2026 in Kemer, Turkey, under the framework of Erasmus+. It brings together youth workers from different European countries to strengthen their role as peacebuilders in their local communities. At a time when many young people experience polarisation, hate speech, discrimination, and social tensions – both online and offline. This training course aims to equip participants with practical tools to facilitate dialogue, prevent conflicts, and promote inclusion. Instead of avoiding difficult conversations, youth workers will learn how to approach them safely, confidently, and constructively.
The programme is based on non-formal education and experiential learning. Participants will engage in team-building and intercultural activities, workshops on peace education, human rights and conflict transformation, as well as role plays and mediation simulations. The training will also include sport-for-peace activities and interactive “Peace Labs”, where participants will design and test their own workshops and methods. By the end of the mobility, youth workers will have strengthened their competences in non-violent communication, mediation, and inclusive youth work, while also becoming part of a growing European network committed to dialogue, resilience, and shared values.
