The training aims to develop 3 key-competences of youth workers dealing with peace activities: communication, conflict management and active citizenship.
It is also designed to underline the experiential learning approach as a viable tool for peace-education: the participants, by taking part in simulations and role plays, will work on decision making process and nonviolent communication, analyzing attitude, behaviours and the emotional aspects of the interpersonal relations.
