Peditory

About the project

War and conflicts harm the mental, psychological and social well-being of youth. According to UNICEF, the war in eastern Ukraine not only threaten young people’s physical safety, but hostilities also jeopardize futures and cause psychosocial distress. That’s why it’s so important to stimulate productive conversations that help to ease the uncertainties this situation may create. For young people, war issues can be an important moment to teach about peace, hope, cooperation, and the role we can all play in creating a better future. The most meaningful step to tackle these issues is to develop awareness and train young people by creating innovative educational solutions regarding peacebuilding, conflict resolutions, and sustaining dialogue environments among different cultures.
