We Make Culture 2023 training on human rights education

The We Make Culture project is looking to gather 20 young artists and participants from Spain, France, Germany and Greece to take part in a training programme that will equip them with peace-building and human rights education skills.

Organised by the Youth Peace Ambassadors Network, there are two training sessions:

14–21 April 2023 in Guriezo (Spain)
3–10 July 2023 in Evian (France)

We Make Culture programme details

In the first training, the programme explores topics such as human rights and its violations, peaceful conflict transformation, dialogue creation, nonviolent communication and social participation. This is followed by a webinar on artivism.

During the second training in Evian (France) participants will start creating a booklet “Drawing for Peace” to raise awareness on human rights violations and other societal issues. They will also organise 4 local activities.
