Training on Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation
From September 25 to 30, 2024, twelve young adults from the Western Balkans and from Switzerland (3 participants) participated in an intensive four-day training program on Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Organized under the auspices of the Swiss Helsinki Committee (SHV), this program aimed to equip youth workers and activists with the skills and methods necessary to foster civic society and democratic engagement within their communities.
This training aimed to empower youth workers and activists from the Western Balkans and Switzerland with methodologies for engaging young people on the topics of peacebuilding and conflict transformation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Participants explored ways to address issues constructively, promote democratic values, and engage actively in peacebuilding efforts, particularly in the post-conflict context of the Western Balkans.
The training module formed part of the broader “We Make Democracy! – Academy”, an international initiative fostering intercultural exchange, practical skill development, and democratic engagement through multiple training units held across various European countries.
