The first stage of preparations for YMCA Europe Roots “Give Peace a Chance” Study Session to be held at European Youth Center Strasbourg on October 15 – 21, 2023 is complete! A staggering 348 applications received from across the continent and beyond; painstaking shortlisting process; interviews with selected candidates – all of it is already behind us with 26 participants from 16 European countries representing YMCAs and various other civil society organizations identified & selected for what promises to be another meaningful and memorable experience within Roots for Peace framework – an event filled with learning, networking, sharing and fun!

And we still have a handful of spots available and hope to fill them with you – young people that believe in peace and are eager to take bold steps towards achieving it!
