Amani Pamoja Peace Advocacy Training

Amani Pamoja (Peace Together) is an EU co-funded training course on advocacy and dialogue skills for peace, held in Vilanova i la Geltru near Barcelona from November 27 to December 3, 2026, travel days included. It selects 24 young peacebuilders from six countries: Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Germany, Spain and Italy. The East African round closed on August 16, 2026 and those twelve participants are already selected, so the September 16 deadline is for residents of Germany, Spain and Italy only. The project is run by a partnership of six youth and peacebuilding organisations coordinated through the Agency for Peacebuilding in Italy, with Fundacio Catalunya Voluntaria hosting in Spain.
