We are increasingly seeing divided communities, young people driven apart and discriminated against because of who they are or where they come from, experiencing anything from racism to street violence to war; crime, substance abuse and disaffection. We want to challenge this using non-formal youth work practice, and arts as a tool for critical social engagement. We brought 12 young adults (aged 20 – 30) from diverse cultural, social and religious backgrounds from Ireland and Lebanon worked together in Beirut, Lebanon for one week to explore how to Transform Conflict. They developed key messages to impart to youth leaders and to empower other young change makers and present them as video resources and an activity pack.
