Peace for Europe
How can the principles of peace education be meaningfully integrated into youth work?
Peace for Europe highlights the role of youth workers as peace educators and provides them with practical tools to bring peace education into non-formal learning settings. The project amplifies youth workers’ capacity to create spaces for dialogue, understanding, and inclusion in their work with young people.
Through a series of dialogue-based workshops, the project has gathered inspiring practices and identified key challenges in merging peace education with youth work. In 2025, these insights were transformed into a practical resource: Youth Worker as a Peace Educator. This educational package helps youth workers apply peace education approaches in their everyday practice.
All materials will be shared widely through partner networks across Europe, supporting a growing community of youth workers committed to building a more peaceful, inclusive society.
