Youth Transforming Conflict! New toolkit by the Council of Europe is out!
The partnership between European Commission and the Council of Europe in the field of youth published a training kit on ''Youth transforming conflict''. It offers the opportunity to explore different aspects of youth work in relation to conflict.
Training kits (T-kits)
The training kits are thematic publications written by experienced youth trainers. They are easy-to-use handbooks for use in training and study sessions. T-Kits are produced in English. Some of them are also available in French or German.
As a theme and as a reality that is challenging for society, conflict comes high on the political agenda everywhere in Europe.In addressing youth, conflict is an inevitable topic, both as a transversal theme and as a specific area of work. Youth work readily engages with conflict, whether because its participants are dealing with different kinds of conflict or because it takes place in conflict regions.
Youth work has proven that it has an important role to play in preventing the negative consequences of conflicts for young people by helping them to deal with the consequences of conflicts they encounter in a positive manner and to learn from them. Hence, this T-kit takes the position that the role of youth work in addressing conflict is to prevent the negative consequences of conflict and optimize its positive potential through management and transformation activities for, by and with young people. By providing opportunities to question reality and the status quo, by supporting young people to find the answers to their questions, by helping young people to develop their critical literacy, youth work makes a contribution to positive and constructive social change and therefore to conflict transformation.
