Overall targets
To make a contribution to a bottom-up, people-to-people approach to peace-building by strengthening the role of young people as peace ambassadors capable of acting as a bridge to peaceful conflict resolution among the post-soviet societies, particularly in Ukraine and Georgia civil societies.
Immediate targets
Objective 1: To empower young people to become peace ambassadors capable of fostering peace at local and transnational level Objective 2: To create a sustainable partnership among civil society organizations (CSOs) in Denmark, Russia, Ukraine, and Georgia Objective 3: Facilitate a strong CSO – Local Schools partnership/network as a way of ensuring that there is sustained connectivity between non-formal education methods to peace-building and mainstream education systems
Target groups
This project targets many different participants at different levels, dependent on the objective and activity in focus. Nevertheless, the people who will be directly involved in the project and affected by the immediate outputs form the primary target group. These include the following: ? The 100 youths that will be trained as Ambassadors of peace from the participating countries ? At least 50 day-to-day CSO staff across the CSO networks in the different countries ? At least 50 teachers from the network of involved schools ? At least 1000 students from participating schools that will be reachable through schools facilitations ? Up to 50 politicians/policy related personnel that will be part of our quarterly policy lobby meetings ? The readership of our project press statements and other publications estimated to reach more than 1 million people across the project The secondary target group of the project will involve the general population all participating countries. These will benefit from the project objectives indirectly – through either having increased peaceful resolutions mechanisms to local conflicts, or through more peaceful thinking youths that will contribute to a peaceful society.
Resume
Projektet har til formal at facilitere kultiveringen og opretholdelsen af ikke-voldelige konfliktløsningsmekanismer i Balkan-regionen ved at støtte en gruppe kritiske ambassadører for fred i at lede denne udvikling. Projektet har sin baggrund i, at mange af regionens lande i mange år har haft gentagne voldelige konflikter, der har snesevis og langvarige følgevirkninger på disse landes og lokalsamfunds udvikling og trivsel. Unge er særlig store ofre i disse konflikter og derfor også den rigtige målgruppe til at lede den forandring. Projektet vil tage form af forskellige kurser, udveksling, ikke-formel læring samt lobbyvirksomhed og fortalervirksomhed. Projektet vil blive specifikt implementeret i Ukraine og Georgien.
