ARCA (Associations and Resources for Conflict Management Skills) will directly contribute to improving the quality, content and methodology of peace education and training in conflict transformation across Europe through the gathering together of best practices, exchange of methods/curriculum, development of resources and guides and establishment of a European-wide data-base of peace educators and peace education resources.
Involving 13 partner organisations from 11 countries, including many of Europe's leading training and education centres in peace education and conflict transformation, the project will improve sharing of experiences, tools and methodologies through European-wide cooperation, collect and collate existing resources and materials on peace education and develop effective guides to peace education for institutions, centres of adult learning, formal and non-formal educational bodies, project partners, teachers and professors, ministries of education, national parliaments, EU parliament, and organisations/institutions working with formal and non-formal peace education.
A series of events sessions including workshops, seminars, and training programmes will facilitate effective gathering of best practices and lessons learned, while a European-wide network of peace educators will be created, supported by the establishment of a data-base/web-portal (called Peacetraining.org) of peace educators and institutions in Europe working on peace education together with core resources and materials for peace education and training for conflict transformation.
