About the project
Peace Talks is a project that explores dialogue as a tool for conflict transformation and peacebuilding.
In a time of increasing polarisation, social tensions, and conflicts, the ability to listen, understand different perspectives, and create spaces for meaningful dialogue is more important than ever. Youth workers are often at the frontline of these challenges, supporting young people affected by discrimination, exclusion, and social divisions.
Through this project, youth workers from different European contexts come together to learn, practice, and exchange approaches for using dialogue as a tool to prevent violence, transform conflicts, and strengthen a culture of peace in their communities.
As part of the project, participants will also co-create a Dialogue Card Kit, a practical resource to support future dialogue processes and peacebuilding activities.
