Duration: June 2017 – December 2017
Implementing Organization: DEV-AID Organization
Supporting Partner: EPTO, Belgium
Financially Supported by: European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe

Through an educational program for both formal and non-formal settings, as well as trainings and awareness-raising sessions, youth workers, psychologists and volunteers were equipped with knowledge and practical tools to address violence and to promote equality and mutual respect. Creative forms such as photography were also used to convey messages against discrimination. The project created a cooperation network among youth organizations and encouraged young people to become active voices for positive change in their communities, demonstrating that education, participation and equality are key to building a fairer and violence-free society.
