Roots & Routes: Reconciliation, Dialogue, and Community Resilience in Youth Work
Erasmus+, KA220 YOU Cooperation partnership in youth work
The aim of Roots & Routes is to strengthen the capacity of youth workers, educators, and youth leaders to foster dialogue, reconciliation, and community resilience in contexts affected by conflict, polarization, and social tension.
Roots & Routes is an international youth cooperation project that brings together organizations from across Europe to develop innovative, trauma-informed, and dialogue-based approaches in youth work. The project combines research, training, and practical tools to support inclusive youth work, peacebuilding, and long-term social cohesion.
