Taking into account difficult socio-political situation with increased violent conflicts in the Eastern Europe region, it is of utmost importance to develop peaceful mechanisms of solving conflicts and its ramifications on a local, national and international levels. Youth policy is often overlooked and needs special focus as the mentioned above situation unfortunately significantly expands youth-at-risk segment. Taking on revenge, developing hatred behavior, feeling frustration and impotence are some of the consequences of violent conflicts and worsening of social conditions. However, youth, often dramatically affected, represents a powerful critical mass and a favorable environment for positive changes and a democratic development. Youth inclusion, active citizenship and participation, inter-cultural dialogue and tolerance, post-war recovery and rehabilitation are important elements of the project – training for youth workers and youth leaders ‘Peace Bridge’ as youth, once empowered and ‘armed’ with knowledge, would not only be affected by the challenges their countries are facing, but would also have potential to be active change makers. The project ‘Peace Bridge’ – a 7 day training for youth workers and youth leaders will take place in Stockholm, Sweden during August 2015 involving 7 partners from the following countries: EU: Sweden (3 organisations) and Hungary; Eastern Partnership: Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova/Transdnistria. Each partner will delegate 3 representatives and the expected number is 21 participants. The project’s general goals are: - to promote European citizenship’s values; - to improve participants’ level of competence and knowledge in the field of human rights and youth work; - to encourage active citizenship, inter-cultural dialogue, tolerance and social inclusion; - to promote mobility and capacity building; - to develop new contacts in Sweden that will provide a strategic ground for long-term partnership and enhance further cooperation. The project implies using of non-formal education method and includes the following activities: 1. Presentations by participants about their own work, their organisations, the state of human rights in their country, youth work and its current problems, in particular. 2.
