PROJECT IN SHORT 

With the “Educators for Peace” project, we share our expertise with youth workers, volunteers, and activists, support them in becoming educators and changemakers and gain competences essential for building a peaceful and nonviolent world

The project lasts through 2023 and 2024 and aims at inspiring and training educators and changemakers who are willing to deliver high-quality educational events for peace and become multipliers and messengers of peace while creating a chain of follow-up actions for promoting and living peace. It consists of several steps:

  1. International training course “Training of Trainers for Peace” which took place in November 2023 in Switzerland. 
  2. International training course “Peace Education Market” in April 2024 in Köniz near Bern, Switzerland. 
  3. Local actions for peace organised by the training participants (December 2023-September 2024).
