Working in and with conflicts the YMCA Movement has historically assumed service responsibilities on a scale and magnitude that had never been attempted by another voluntary organisation in the world and would hardly ever be matched again. Until now Peace and Reconciliation remains as one of the key signatures in the YMCA profile positioned and also recognized generally.

In many corners of today’s Europe conflicts touch young peoples’ lives on every-day basis and at the level of their basic needs, especially their need (and right) for security. The YMCA Movement, faithful to its historical roots and profile, does evidently remain with the drive and the capacity to offer sustainable assistance to those who struggle through those conflicts.
True impact in the YMCA peace work in Europe can be measured as an end result of many factors produced by the different levels of our Movement – local, national, European and global. Thus we at the YMCA Europe have come up with this initiative to hold a pan-European seminar, where young people from all over Europe could come together to share their experiences and competences in peace work and to learn how to capture and communicate its impact.
Participants applying for the seminar should be under 30 (or 30) years old, from European or Middle East countries.
Financial conditions:
80 EUR participation fee
Travel costs (including visa) will be reimbursed up to maximum 250 EUR
Participants not fulfilling the conditions above (over age limit or outside geographic area)
490 EUR participation fee
No travel reimbursement
This seminar is co-financed by the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.
