This project is based on need for competent youth workers to support young people in their socio-economic development as responsible citizens with fundamental European values as well as to facilitate civic engagement of youth in reconciliation at various levels. They should be equipped with competences to practice bottom-up and human-centred approach to reconciliation since it is all about people2people actions that contribute to societal reconstruction and finally to society/community transformation. This way, we are contributing also to European education and training policy since we deal with quality of youth work and non-formal education. Improving capacities of youth workers in reconciliation topic also contribute to topic-based diversification inside the youth work field. Youth workers are the key element of this process and they are the first to be addressed. They are ensuring active, systemic, and meaningful participation of youth in issues of peace and security is a demographic and democratic imperative. Project consortium consists of organizations with portfolio in quality youth work, reconciliation, youth activism and participation, advocacy.Main of this project is to improve the quality and foster the innovative approaches and development of youth work efforts through European cooperation and capacity building of youth workers in the field of reconciliation. We will achieve this through 4 specific objectives: - To enhance socio-professional development and international cooperation of youth workers and trainers by strengthening their capacities in the field of effective reconciliation in post conflict regions and providing them with space for exchange of good practice. - To increase capacity of youth workers to design and lead the processes of development of social innovations in reconciliation field by using cross-sector approach and methodology developed by Regional Social Innovation Lab for peace and reconciliation aimed at young people.- To empower and support youth organizations to cooperate, advocate and take an important role in reconciliation process providing them with competences and space to implement innovative ideas on local and international level and involve young people as active actors.-To promote and mainstream Erasmus + programme as one of the most effective ways for youth workers and youth organizations in Europe to receive quality capacity building, advance their efforts in topics of interest and strengthen sustainable relationship between WB and EU.The project consortium consists of 10 partner organizations from Programme and Neighboring Countries (SEE region connecting WB and EU countries) from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, FYROM, Turkey.

With this project we will address issues of rising tensions threatening the peace and stability in region of WB and EU by involving youth work in promotion and active participation in peacebuilding, solidarity, understanding and respect. What we have concluded as two important aspects of working with young people on peacebuilding is recognising them as huge potential in the transformation and using youth work practices as way to ensure sustainability and long-term impact of that work. Namely, youth work is one of the main mechanisms that, through its programs, can provide constant promotion of peacebuilding, solidarity, respect, and understanding, but also active involvement of young people in peacebuilding practice. Youth work brings change through diversity of its approaches and provides young people with space and empowerment to express. Youth workers are the key element of this process and they are the first to be addressed. They are ensuring active, systemic, and meaningful participation of youth in issues of peace and security is a demographic and democratic imperative. The main aim of this project is framework competence building which aims to support youth workers in innovation and creativity in developing peacebuilding education and practice within youth work and non-formal learning in Europe. We intent to achieve this through set of interrelated activities: 3 mobility activities – training course on topics of peacebuilding in youth work, creativity and innovation in peacebuilding and non-formal education as tool for social transformation, web platform for sharing and promoting different tools, methods and forms of working on peacebuilding topics in youth context, action week - public activities with young people with the aim to promote, raise awareness and educate their communities on topics of peace and large scale youth event – public DEOR youth event.
