In Peace with the Storm is a training course designed for youth workers, focusing on conflict management and resolution. This course stands out by utilizing non-formal educational techniques, engaging storytelling, and interactive outdoor activities. These methods are specifically chosen to deepen participants' understanding of conflict dynamics, improve their conflict-handling abilities, and foster personal growth. The training course also places a strong emphasis on developing empathetic engagement skills, ensuring that youth workers are well-equipped to manage conflicts in a way that is both effective and considerate of all parties involved.
