Training for youth workers on peace education
Ekipa petih mladinskih delavcev Središča zagovorništva (ISZ) je sodelovala na intenzivnem usposabljanju v okviru projekta PeaceACT oz. Mirovno izobraževanje v akciji: Ustvarjanje trajnostne prihodnosti, kjer so mladinski delavci iz Slovenije, Estonije, Finske in Gruzije skupaj krepili svoje znanje o demokraciji in miru, povezavi med slednjima, ter se izobraževali na področju praktičnih in zabavnih metod vzgoje o demokraciji in miru.
The event, which took place between 16 and 20 March in Änkküla, Estonia, was co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme and brought together 25 young workers and educators who came together with one common goal – promoting democratic participation and peace-building in their communities.
Usposabljanje sta vodili strokovnjakinji iz gibanja We do democracy in soustanoviteljici koncepta Democracy Fitness iz Danske. Prva dva dneva sta bila osredotočena na praktične metode za učenje demokratične pripravljenosti, ki spodbuja mladinske delavce in pedagoge, da mlade učijo aktivnega sodelovanja v demokratičnih procesih.
Udeleženci so spoznavali veščine, kot so aktivno poslušanje, razvijanje mnenj, reševanje nesoglasij in iskanje skupnih rešitev. “Demokracija ni le sistem, ampak živa praksa, ki zahteva vsakodnevno sodelovanje in odgovornost,” sta poudarili trenerki. Po koncu izobraževanja so se vsi udeleženci preiskusili v pridobljenem znanju in veščinah, kar jim je omogočilo, da so postali certificirani Democracy Fitness trenerji.
Democracy education was followed by a training on peace education, where participants explored the connection between democracy and peaceful coexistence. All activities were designed to enable youth workers and educators to acquire new methods in working with young people with the aim of promoting an inclusive and peaceful community.
The participants concluded their training by preparing to conduct peace education workshops in their countries. The Slovenian ISZ team will focus on spreading messages about peace and democracy in schools, youth centers, and local communities. ISZ, in cooperation with project partners, will support the implementation of these actions.
