In line with objectives set in the European Regional Scout Plan 2016 – 2019 and following the successful implementation of the Work Plan 2017 “Scouting for Peace” project co-financed by the Council of Europe – European Youth Foundation, the Messenger of Peace Support Fund and in collaboration with KAICIID – The International Dialogue Centre, it was decided to continue the collaboration between the European Scout Region and KAICIID – The International Dialogue Centre in Peace Education and to organise a Training and Workshop under the title “Dialogue for Peace in Europe: Through Intercultural, Interreligious Dialogue and Spiritual Development” at Wassergspreng Scout Centre, near Vienna, Austria, in March 2018.

The “Dialogue for Peace in Europe: Through Intercultural, Interreligious Dialogue and Spiritual Development” aims at:
– Training young leaders willing to support the work of the European Scout Interreligious Forum (ESIF), the Spiriteco Network and the Overture Network as Dialogue for Peace Facilitators, and
– to enhance the Dialogue for Peace manual with reference documents and activities on interreligious and intercultural dialogue and spiritual development.
KAICIID experts will provide the participants with knowledge on human perceptions and misperceptions, cultural identities, the principles of dialogue, and designing and facilitating dialogue.
