Trainings for the EU Youth, Peace and Security community

24.06.2026 Strategic Communications

Young peacebuilders from the EU Youth, Peace and Security network aspire to become stronger, more efficient and tool-equipped peacebuilders.

With this aim in mind, a series of six online trainings are organised in coordination with the European External Action Service, with the support of the organisation Search for Common Ground.

While the trainings are primarily targeted to the young peacebuilders from the EU Youth, Peace and Security network, they are also open to all young people and professionals involved in this field.

These free trainings will provide useful tools to the network of almost 700 young activists from 86 countries of the network, who are working to bring peace and promote common core values all around the globe. The training will focus on the UN Security Council Resolutions 2250, 2419 and 2535 as well as on the entire set of mediation, community dialogue, peacebuilding and protection mechanisms techniques and best practices.

The training sessions will be provided by Mr Saji Prelis, an experienced peacebuilder from the organisation Search for Common Grounds.
