RYCO and UNFPA are calling for 75 enthusiastic young people, ages 16 to 25 from all over Kosovo, who will become peer educators. The participants will take part in one of three local workshops based on peer to peer methodology adapted to peacebuilding and reconciliation, and continue to work at local level in their communities with grassroot youth organisations and individuals from hard to reach groups[1].

The workshops aim to further develop thematic and peer education competencies of the participants and equip them with the tools needed to engage, understand and then address the issues that affect personal and community peace, safety and security among young people. The participants will become a network of peer educators which will teach and transfer the acquired knowledge to other youth from their local communities, ensuring that more young people are taking an active and leading role in peacebuilding activities.

The goal is also for this group to become advocates of peace and security in their environments bringing change to their societies in the long run. This group will work in a multicultural environment of young people together with their peers from November 2020 to the end January 2021.

The selected participants need to commit to engaging from the beginning to the end of the process, and their engagement will require participation in one of the three workshops that will be organized within November.

Best innovative ideas by young people identified in the local workshops will be supported and implemented in the following months (December and January 2021).

Participants are expected to work in teams and engage with other participants through digital online platforms. Internet connection is a precondition for participation.
