About the project

We are ready to invite 28 participants (2 per country and 4 participants from the host SCI Switzerland) to join a one-week training course “Peace Education Market”. The Peace Education Market will empower you to increase the quality and quantity of your peace education activities. During the training you will:

– deepen your knowledge and understanding of the concept of peace and its 3 pillars: inner peace, peace with others and peace with nature,
– learn to design and facilitate high-quality learning processes, and deliver impactful peace education activities,
– participate in numerous peace education workshops and get inspired by them,
– if you want, lead your own workshop and develop your training skills, gain confidence and receive feedback from your peers,
– get equipped with various training tools and methods you can later use in your work and everyday life,
– discuss the current peace education trends and approaches,
– find space for the safe exchange of good practices, of inspiration, of sharing resources and ideas with practitioners from 13 countries,
– plan a follow-up action to take place in your local community upon the course completion.

Key programme elements: 3 peace pillars, standards for quality in peace education, experiential learning, peace education workshops, well-being of peace educators in VUCA times, networking with Swiss and international NGOs, Open Space, follow-up planning, reflection, and evaluation.

For whom?

The project is intended for the following types of participants:
– trainers and educators leading peace education activities,
