Education
Olympic Truce
Olympic Truce will train young people in the skills of conflict resolution and mediation. It will give them the skills and confidence to work with their peers in local youth organisations. It is based on ancient olympic tradition of calling a truce during the period of the games.
The basic training happens in a group work setting and consists of twelve evening sessions, two full days and a residential weekend over a three to four month period.
The training will develop their personal skills in managing their own attitudes to anger and violence. They will develop an understanding of the costs and gains of conflict which will be beneficial in their everyday lives and relationships. They will gain a range of tools and techniques to support this (life skills) and improve their personal skills which will enhance their employability. They begin to take responsibility for their own behaviours and to see how they can support others in difficult situations. They can gain practice and validation as facilitators and young leaders.
