Summary of Project The background of the project outline is constituted by existing regional conflicts in Eastern Europe and Caucasus and the increasing tensions within many EU countries in regards to nationalism, xenophobia and racism. Viewing the post-soviet context with frozen and hot conflicts/war in Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk (Ukraine - Russia), Abkhazia and Southern Ossetia (Georgia -Russia), Chechnya (Russian Federation - Chechnya), and Nagorno-Karabakh (Armenia - Azerbaijan), Kurdish conflict (Turkey) conflict management and peace building are obviously among the most important issues especially among young people. In Western Europe racism, xenophobia and racial discrimination are increasing not only in traditional immigration countries like Germany, Italy and Netherlands, but all across Europe, which is displayed by the examples of national populism in Greece, tension between Kurdish and Turkish whole over the Europe etc. All the above stated illustrates the importance of youth work in the areas of peace building, conflict transformation, human rights education and anti-discrimination. Different forms of conflicts are often closely interrelated, young people affected by conflicts whether on international, national or on local level very often develop xenophobic and racist attitudes that can lead to aggressions and violence towards other ethnicities, people of other nationalities, or just any type of minorities as examples of sexual discrimination in Russia shows. Simply, chauvinism, racism and discrimination combined with violence and life threatening acts towards minority groups create the need to look for effective strategies to address issues of conflict and violence among young people. Given the above, the promoters of this project decided to hold a training course dedicated to conflict management and peace-building and to focus within this framework on non-violent actions as a tool for international and local youth work. Conflict Management Tools to Promote Peace Education (CMTPP) aims to train youth workers from program countries and EECA countries on conflict management and peace education in frame of human rights principles. Step will create a common space to build trust among participants, provide different tools to apply in daily life and youth worker. Moreover over participants will learn from each other’s experiences, different methods for conflict management and peace education, backgrounds of their respective societies’ problems. The following objectives have been set in order to implement a successful training course: • To identify effective methods for and with young people by empowering them in building their capacity to become agents of change, peace builders and advocate at local and international level; • To exchange best practices in relation to youth work and conflict, inter-religious and -cultural dialogue; • To build capacity of participants through providing tools for conflict management and peace education; • To raise awareness of risk factors under which conflicts tend to arise in multicultural and multicultural settings; • To promote common understanding of peace and dialogue through raising awareness of negative and positive peace; • To developing and promoting the culture of peace within the society through both formal and non-formal education; • To establish a sustainable platform for organizations and youth workers to cooperate in the implementation of joint projects on local, regional and international level;
