Training the Youth for a Peaceful World

Refugee Diaspora’s Justo Casal participated in the training course dubbed “Media Citizenship” in Ballyloughran, Ireland during 5th-16th June.

The 11-day training course concentrated in strategic planning and campaigning, non-violent action tactics, media intervention, project management and networking. More than 20 voluntary and professional youth workers/leaders from both Eastern Europe and Caucasus, and European Countries attended this practical course which aimed to provide participants with the knowledge and know-how for creating effective and lost-lasting actions as well as coaching how to implement successful communication strategies and activities to improve the participants’ local realities.

Refugee Diaspora thanks immensely the organizers of the event, particularly to Lorenzo Nava, and wishes the participants all the best in their future endeavors.

Refugee Diaspora is willing to cooperate with its expertise in issues related to refugees and the displaced in Europe and around the world in order to maximize the human rights of the “voiceless” in their country of asylum where they face many challenges as immigrants.

Together, we can make the difference in the lives of these people who have fled their country of origin due to human rights abuses. Their future depends on how we treat them today!
