Invited by associates from the CK 13 Youth Centre in Novi Sad, on 8 and 9 June, activists of the Centre for Nonviolent Action held one of the Alternative Policy Seminars of this organisation, titled “Introduction to Reflecting on Peace”.
The Seminar was intended for young people (age 18-30) from Novi Sad and the surrounding area.
We broached questions relevant to recognising violence, addressing conflict and opened space for finding creative ways of conflict transformation. It was important for us to bring awareness to different forms of violence and discrimination and we also discussed some issues related to dealing with the past, reflected on the prejudices we face and how we treat differences in society.
Two days of interactive work are not enough for such demanding topics, but it was important for us to introduce the participants to the approach and methods of the Centre for Nonviolent Action and invite them to apply for our Basic Training in Peacebuilding to be held in Ulcinj, Montenegro from 18 to 28 October 2024.
The workshops in the CK 13 Youth Centre were led by peace activists of the Centre for Nonviolent Action Sarajevo – Belgrade, Radomir Radević and Katarina Milićević.
