Youth diplomats

About: Youth Diplomats” is a mobility of youth workers, KA1 Training Course, under Erasmus+ and will be implemented by Asociación PROJUVEN. The training course will take place in Torremolinos (Málaga area), Spain and it will involve 20 youth workers from 6 different countries (Estonia, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Spain).
Violent conflicts cost lives, cause human rights abuses, displace people, disrupt livelihoods, set back economic development, exacerbate state fragility, weaken
governance and undermine national and regional security. Peace building and conflict prevention are at the heart of European Union (EU) action. Having all this in mind, the desired impact is to foster youth diplomacy in Europe as tool of peacebuilding and conflict prevention. Consequently, the main aim of “Youth Diplomats” is to equip youth workers involved in international youth work to develop projects in the field of peace building through raising awareness about the necessity to follow a youth diplomacy approach.
The project will use non formal learning methodology including methods such as: ice breakers, energizers, name games, reflection groups, working into intercultural subgroups, facilitated discussion, creative presentations, simulation, case study, and debates.
The project will involve 20 participants, 3 for each of the Partner Countries and 4 for Spain and Italy between 18-35 years old. The project is implemented by 6 organisations and financed by the European Commission through Erasmus+ programme.
