From 3rd until 12th of May, in the capital of Lithuania, an Erasmus+ training entitled Peace at War was held. Participants from Georgia, Cyprus, Sweden, Romania, Moldova, Lithuania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina gathered in Vilnius and discussed topics related to peacebuilding. Aware of the situation the whole world faces right now, it was significant for participants to exchange opinions and views and tackle current issues through mutual understanding and respect.
Our participants, Melina, Nasiha, Kemal, and Omer, over the course of ten days, gained knowledge in the fields of human rights, conflict management, and migration. They got familiar with the background of some of the unresolved conflicts throughout history, which consequences we can see even today. As a part of the program, they visited Lithuanian Parliament, where they met with some elected government officials, with whom they exchanged their ideas and opinions. Also, on the last day before coming home, they helped a local humanitarian center to prepare help packages for Ukrainian refugees, who are trying to get back to their everyday lives. Throughout nonformal education and networking, our members made new friendships and contacts. We are also sure that they presented our country and our organization in the best possible light.
