For the We Make Culture project, the Youth Peace Ambassadors Network is looking to gather 20 participants from Spain, France, Germany and Greece to engage in a training programme that will equip them with peace-building and human rights education skills to address issues that are a threat to peace. Applications are open to those 18–35 years old, though the organisers don’t exclude the participation of older participants if they fit the required profile.
Participants must commit to attend two training sessions:
- 14-21 April 2023 in Evian, France.
- 3-10 July 2023 in Guriezo, Spain.
Objectives:
- To develop an understanding of concepts of peace, peace education and human rights;
- To explore the links between peace education and art;
- To develop the competence to design, run and evaluate a peace education activity by using creative artistic tools and methods;
- To empower young artists to express themselves online and in one local event per participant country in order to reach a wider audience;
- To empower youth to take initiative in times of crises to promote common values and keep the human spirit up through art;
- To strengthen the YPA network and promote peacebuilding and human rights activities reinforced with artistic tools and methods.
Profile for participants:
- Young people with artistic skills.
- Youth workers and leaders interested to learn more about creative methods used in peacebuilding and human rights education.
- Young people who believe in positive changes in their communities; are committed to self-development; and are seeking innovative and creative solutions to economic and social problems in their communities.
You will be reimbursed for your travel to France and Spain to the limits established officially by the European Commission in the Program Erasmus+ Guide 2023. If you choose green travel (coming to Spain by train, for example), the organisers will try to support you with higher reimbursement.
