Hi everyone! My name is Georgia, and earlier in September I participated in an Erasmus+ training course in Munich on othering and conflict transformation entitled ‘Conflictual Potentials’, organized by Planimpact and Youth Peace Ambassadors Network. I was lucky enough to be part of a cohort of 25 youth workers, leaders, and activists, all with professional, academic, or organizing experience centering conflict transformation. Together, we trained in nonviolent communication, intercultural understanding, and combating othering in the hopes of acting as multipliers through our work in our communities. Many thanks to the Greek sending organization United Societies of Balkans for their support, the facilitators for organizing and leading the course with such care, and, of course, my fellow trainees for sharing their expertise and lived experience so generously.
Looking forward to the November session and our final joint project!
