“Introduction to Peacebuilding”, Mir-Paqe-Мир, Kruševo, 10 – 19 May 2019
Overcoming official borders, but even more so, those that exist in people’s heads is the biggest challenge when it comes to peacebuilding in the region. Over its nine days of intensive activities, the Mir-Paqe-Мир training becomes a space for free exchange of opinions and for re-examining your own views.

Voyage(s) of the Damned
No one opens the door to people fleeing war.
Europe admires itself for having defeated fascism 70 years ago.
Europe is silent while in some corner of the world war still rages, just as in 1939, people fleeing war were universally unwanted.
