Some ideas...
Conflict transformation: Process by which conflict, such as ethnic conflict, are transformed into peaceful outcomes. It differs from conflict resolution and conflict management approaches in that it recognises "that contemporary conflicts require more than the reframing of positions and the identification of win-win outcomes. The very structure of parties and relationships may be embedded in a pattern of conflictual relationships that extend beyond the particular site of conflict. Conflict transformation is therefore a process of engaging with and transforming the relationships, interests, discourses and, if necessary, the very constitution of society that supports the continuation of violent conflict"
Youth participation: Young people face multiple challenges today: High unemployment, risk of poverty, demographic change, low educational attainment rates and low turn-out of young people in elections. Involving young people in forming political opinions and decisions, especially on matters that concern them directly, can be a way to ensure the quality and sustainability of policy making and implementation. A culture of participation at all levels is needed. Non formal education: Is purposive but voluntary learning that takes place in a diverse range of environments and situations for which teaching/training and learning is not necessarily their sole or main activity. These environments and situations may be temporarly, and the activities or courses that take place may be staffed by professional learning facilitators (such as youth trainers) or by volunteers (such as youth leaders). The activities and courses are planned, but are seldomly structured by conventional rhythms or curriculum subjects. They usually address specific target groups, but rarely document or assess learning outcomes or achievements in conventionally visible ways. |
