Roots & Routes project aims to enhance the capacity of youth workers, leaders and educators in reconciliation, dialogue, and community resilience. Through cross-border collaboration, development of innovative tools, and integration of global best practices, the project strengthens skills in conflict transformation, intercultural dialogue, and peacebuilding. By equipping practitioners with structured methodologies, the initiative fosters inclusive youth work and long-term social cohesion.

Roots & Routes project is structured into six work packages: WP1 – Project Management; WP2 – Research on reconciliation practices; WP3 – Ambassador Program with training events in Ireland, Finland, and online; WP4 – Development of a Reconciliation Toolbox; WP5 – Creation of a Dialogue Playbook; WP6 – Dissemination through media, policy advocacy, and multiplier events. These activities equip youth workers with practical tools for dialogue, peacebuilding, and community resilience.

Roots & Routes will produce a Knowledge Hub on reconciliation, a Reconciliation Toolbox, and a Dialogue Playbook for youth workers. It will establish an Ambassador Program, train professionals, and engage global experts. Dissemination will include articles, podcasts, and policy recommendations, fostering long-term impact on peacebuilding and social cohesion.
