In a world of wars, polarization and uncertainty, educators play a crucial role in building trust, resilience and hope. How can we bring peace, dialogue and social cohesion into everyday educational practice?
This international training course combines theoretical foundations with hands-on workshops, dialogue, and the sharing of good practices.
Together, we will explore pedagogies for peace, trauma-informed approaches, nonviolent conflict transformation and ways to strengthen young people’s participation and belief in the future. The programme also includes opportunities to discover local approaches and good practices in peace education, offering insights and inspiration from the Estonian context.
