FINISHED
The training course - “Vote for Peace" took place in the mountain town of Georgia - Bakuriani, during 13th - 20th of August, 2014. The project lasted for 8 days (including arrival and departure). It brought together 32 young people from 8 different countries, from European Union (EU) and Eastern Europe and Caucasus (EECA): Italy, Spain, Germany, Estonia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia and Georgia.
In frame of this project we invited young people from the countries in conflict with each other (Armenia & Azerbaijan, Georgia & Russia), hosted in Georgia, the country in frozen conflict with Russia, and gave them the tools of emphatic communication and conflict transformation.
The themes of the project were: Understanding the concept and main values of emphatic communication, promoting tolerance, solidarity and peace without any discrimination, by dialogue among young people from different countries by different backgrounds, stimulate better understanding of diversities, and developing awareness of European Citizens.
This TC encouraged the development of a peaceful, critical, democratic and creative thinking for the youth with active social, political and cultural role to construct a shared Europe.
The learning methods of project were through non-formal and in-formal education. For to achieve the principal goals of the TC we’ve used different activities, such as: mixed group works, discussion/presentations, games, living library, workshops, role-plays, team-building activities, intercultural evenings and other creative activities.
