The 'Peace Education and Empowerment Summit' aims to comprehensively strengthen the participants - on a professional, methodological and personal level. A varied programme of workshops, inputs, exchange formats and community experiences will stimulate and reflect on learning and development processes.
Participants expand their knowledge of peace education and empowerment. Topics covered include non-violent conflict transformation, building a culture of empathy, environmental peacebuilding, conflict sensitivity and resilience. Inputs, best-practice exchange and discussions in interdisciplinary and international groups provide insights into different European contexts and promote reflection on challenges, solutions and their transferability to one's own practice.
The summit offers participants the opportunity to experience, try out and reflect on practical non-formal educational activities. These voluntary, participatory and experience-orientated approaches create learning spaces beyond formal curricula, promote creativity and empower young people to actively participate. The focus is on how safe and inclusive learning spaces can be designed in which learners are involved and empowered. Particular attention is paid to creative and participatory methods that promote empowerment and support peaceful conflict resolution.
The summit also emphasises the personal development of the participants. Living and learning together in a diverse group creates space for self-reflection, dialogue and solidarity. Participants strengthen their resilience, empathy and confidence in their own self-efficacy.
