Aim:

The European Fellowship aims to train young leaders, trainers and youth workers to learn skills which they can multiply in their own communities and use within their youth work as well as offering a space to meet with other youth workers who are passionate about peace, to share good practices.

The fellowship will use meditation, workshops, yoga and other group activities for participants to explore the concept of self-development as a foundation of peace.

Objectives:

- To promote tools of non-violent communication and peace-building that can be applied to all cultures, religions and professions.
- To explore meditation as a practice which can develop tools to deal with challenges within peace-building and youth work.
- To explore the idea that self-development is a core foundation of world change and helping others.
- To understand that cultivating inner qualities can be the foundation of creating compassion in society which leads to more benevolence and understanding within conflict situations.
- To learn practical methods of stress management and ways to increase emotional intelligence.
- To practice mindfulness during yoga and other group activities.
- To build on participants’ progress after having participated in the online self-development programme.
