Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Mentoring Youth to Build an Inclusive Europe

The PeaceJam Compassion in Action Curriculum was created to combat Europe’s challenges with extremism, division, radicalization and exclusion. This curriculum realizes the vision of the EU’s Paris Declaration social inclusion transformation vision, by inspiring young people and changing the context of the communities and schools where young people live and work.

The curriculum is based on the lives of the Nobel Laureates who work with the PeaceJam Foundation. Through peer-mentoring events, the Nobel Laureates inspire young people in life-changing ways by embedding mutual respect and intercultural dialogue to combat all forms of discrimination.

At the completion of our project we are proud to say we have achieved the following results:

• development of a PeaceJam peer training programme piloted in Belgium
• organisation of a Pan-EU online conference with 200 participants
• several PeaceJam Youth Leadership Conferences in UK and BE
• Programme in 145 schools and 256 teachers reaching 4000 pupils
• motivated young people to participate in the One Billion Acts of Peace program and become stronger leaders and promote inclusion in their communities and the world around them.
