- Education
The education that Youth for Peace offers to young people in BiH is focused on mapping similarities and differences, finding common values, and discussing those issues that differentiate us. Young people are being taught how to communicate while respecting others, and their needs. Different perspectives can often help to better understand the other. The workshops are of an interactive character, moderated by trainers of the Organization, who have obtained their licenses on trainings in BiH and abroad, and gained experience in long-term work with young people.
