This project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and is coordinated by Never Give Up Förderverein e.V., Germany.

The aim of the project is to equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities they need to actively contribute to violence prevention and the promotion of peace within their communities.

Objectives

• To create a diverse range of immersive digital adventures (educational tools) addressing real-life scenarios related to violence prevention and peacebuilding.
• To organize pilot training sessions involving adult educators and trainers in each partner country, and to develop a comprehensive handbook.
• To implement improvements based on training experiences and feedback.
• To design interactive elements within digital adventures that encourage participants to think critically, make informed decisions, and solve complex challenges related to violence and conflict.
• To develop coaching cards for violence prevention with thoughtful prompts that stimulate meaningful conversations among young people about violence, its causes, and effective prevention strategies.
• To ensure accessibility and scalability of the project, reaching diverse groups of young people from different backgrounds and communities.
• To collaborate with schools, community organizations, and youth-focused institutions to integrate HarmonyPath into educational and community settings.
