PAVE project presents the International Peace Academy 2023 Call for participants

Are you passionate about creating a world where conflicts are managed effectively, and peace is cherished? Do you firmly believe in the potential of collaboration, volunteering, and open dialogue as catalysts for ushering in positive change?

The International Peace Academy is a groundbreaking initiative hosted within the framework of the Erasmus+ project “PAVE – Peace Awareness through Volunteering and Education“. This inspiring endeavor will take place in the beautiful city of Zagreb, Croatia, from October 22nd to October 28th.

The project will focus on conflict management and raising awareness about the importance of peace. This extraordinary opportunity is extended to 60 young Europeans, aged 18 to 30, hailing from Bosnia, Croatia, Poland, France, Ireland, and Spain.

During this intensive 7-day program, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the history, root causes, as well as the social, economic, and cultural implications associated with three significant conflict scenarios: the Russian war against Ukraine, the Northern Ireland Conflict, and the conflict in the Balkans.
