Roots for Peace Expert Pool Meeting
November 7, 2024 - November 10, 2024
After 15 fruitful years since its inception and three successful cohorts of Peace Work Institute, YMCA Europe Roots for Peace is embarking on a new journey towards peace.
Preparations for the first roots expert pool meeting is completed and the team of experts will travel to Tirana, Albania, on the 7th of November, where for four days they will have an introduction into future plans and start preparing for the upcoming collaborations with different NGOs and projects.
The Roots, and especially its Peace Work Institute component, has by now achieved a state where the issue is no longer to form an expert pool for the Peace Work Institute participants but rather how to form an expert pool with the Peace Work Institute alumni.
In addition to learning through Peace Work Institute, its alumni meanwhile have gained experience doing local community peace work. On top of it, all of them also bring their professionalism in different fields (teachers, social workers, IT, communication, arts, business and NGO management, etc.) to the Roots. This is a huge resource to be tapped for implementing the Roots activities as well as organising post-event support, accompaniment, and encouragement.
