Project progress:

From April 23 to 30, Wiktoria, Iga, and Piotr took part in a training course in Austria.

The main topic of the training was peace and conflict resolution. Thanks to workshops and practical exercises, we learned how to prevent misunderstandings and how to resolve them in a constructive and nonviolent way.

We also focused on non-violence activities and listened to inspiring stories as part of the “Living Library.” We explored the topics of emotions and peace building, and learned how to be attentive listeners.

From June 26 to July 2, we took part in the second stage of the project, which took place in picturesque Georgia and was a continuation of the first meeting organized in April in Austria.

During a week of intensive activities, we focused on developing social and organizational skills—we talked about the roles we play in society, learned how to effectively plan and run local events, and worked on ideas for future youth initiatives. An important part of the program was also a workshop on storytelling as a tool for building dialogue and strengthening social communication.

The meeting in Georgia was not only a space for learning and working, but also a continuation of the relationships established during the first stage of the project. Thanks to working together in an international group, participants were able to deepen the exchange of experiences and better understand the cultural contexts of their partners.
