The Council of Europe invites all youth leaders working in conflict-affected communities to apply to take part in the training of future youth ambassadors for peace. The training is scheduled to take place on dates 19. - 26. June 2011 in the European Youth Centre Budapest, Hungary.

The Youth Peace Ambassadors project builds on the understanding of peace and deep security as long-term and deep-rooted processes ensuring equality in dignity for all, fostering intercultural dialogue, and providing real access to and participation in the democratic process all over Europe.

The project combines residential training, distance learning and field initiatives supported by a European network and is run from 2011 to 2013. Applications to be part of the second group of “ambassadors” are now open.

The deadline for submitting applications is 3rd April 2011. Please refer to the Youth Partnership website for further information on the training and application procedures.
