What is an Act of Peace?

A thoughtful action that spreads more peace in your community, school, organization or business, or is designed to gain traction in one of the Billion Acts key focus areas critical to creating world peace.

Peers for Diversity is a new European project funded by Erasmus+ and coordinated by our member organisation Ofensiva Tinerilor. It aims to train youth workers and youth mentors to use different peer education tools to fight cultural discrimination and to be able to raise awareness in their own communities through local workshops on this topic.

EPTO is looking for 2 Belgium-based participants for this project.

For the next two years, EPTO will be involved in a transnational project called « YouthInfo: Future Youth Information Toolbox » organised in partnership with ERYICA (European Youth Information and Councelling Agency) and with the 7 following partners :

Creativitas, Lithuania ; Åbo Akademi University, Finland ; Youth Work Ireland, Ireland ; Jugend- und Familienstiftung des Landes Berlin, Germany ; Bundesnetzwerk Österreichische Jugendinfos, Austria ; Labdaros ir Paramos Fondas "Jauniems", Lithuania ; National Youth Council of Latvia, Latvia.

For the last year and a half, EPTO has been developing a partnership with the PeaceJam Foundation to expand a PeaceJam award-winning peace education programme in Europe. The Peacejam Foundatæion mobilises Nobel Peace Prize Laureates to lead life-changing inspiration & peer mentoring events linking them to young people from many different backgrounds. The programme engenders mutual respect, intercultural dialogue and inclusion for all. To meet Europe’s challenges of extremism, division, radicalisation & exclusion, we need to change the context for young people, teachers, schools and the communities they co-create.
