The background of the project is constituted by existing regional conflicts in Europe and the increasing tensions within many EU and Eastern European countries in regards to nationalism, racism and ethnocentrism, as well as hatred towards migrants, territorial dispute. The project will cover different types of conflicts and in different settings and consequently ways of transforming conflicts by non-violent actions. The emphasize is placed on fostering a constructive debate on recent conflicts in Europe and cooperation in the youth field. This is done by promoting non-violent approaches leading to actions on peace-building. Moreover, youth workers and young leaders will discuss the significant role of youth participation in grass-root peace-building initiatives.Viewing the recent frozen and hot conflicts at the eastern border of Europe conflict management and peace building are obviously among the most important issues also among young people. In Western Europe racism, xenophobia and racial discrimination are increasing not only in traditional immigration countries like Germany, Turkey but all across Europe which is displayed by the examples of national populism in Ukraine, as well as tension between Russian and Georgia and Ukraine, Charlie Hebdo caricatures in France.All the above stated illustrates the importance of youth work in the areas of peace building, conflict transformation, human rights education and anti-discrimination.As a result, the projects aims to develop new initiatives and strategies for youth inclusion and active involvement of young people in projects dealing with conflicts on international, national and local level. Young people are playing a major role in the solution of existing conflicts and tensions between communities, and can take a leading function in promoting peace, establishing links between the conflict parties, and turning hidden and frozen conflicts into constructive dialogue by applying innovative methods all across Europe.
