This project, implemented in partnership with YouthUp and supported by the German Federal Foreign Office, aimed to strengthen democratic engagement among young people in Ukraine, particularly in rural areas of the Chernivtsi and Kyiv regions.

Through a series of workshops and trainings, participants developed skills in community organizing, dialogue, and social rebuilding. The workshop in Kyiv featured a panel discussion on democratic community development, practical sessions on collaboration, and presentations of pilot initiatives.

Corridors organized a tree planting workshop at Peace Camp Gremi, bringing together participants to learn about permaculture, tree planting techniques, and soil health. With expert guidance, they planted a variety of trees and plants, including fruit trees, herbs, and native species, enhancing the camp’s biodiversity.

The workshop also introduced composting practices to promote sustainability. Supported by the German Federal Foreign Office and implemented in collaboration with The Tree Party, the initiative was made possible with contributions from experts and volunteers, including TEMI-Community.

The first phase of this training course took place at Peace Camp Gremi, bringing together youth workers from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Ukraine. Participants explored mental health, trauma education, and skills to support young people, with additional insights from Corridors alumni.

Supported by Erasmus+ and the German Federal Foreign Office, this was the first Corridors project at Peace Camp Gremi. The training was led by Paata Alaverdashvili, Svitlana Korenkova, and Sebastian Relitz, with support from Peace Camp volunteers and the TEMI-Community.

Held on December 15, 2023, in Tbilisi, this conference, organized by Corridors and Caucasian House, examined the migration of Russian speakers to Georgia. Experts and activists from Georgia, Russia, and beyond discussed the demographic, political, economic, and social implications of this migration, as well as challenges faced by conscientious objectors.

The event featured key presentations on migration trends, security concerns, economic impact, and integration challenges. The conference was the final component of the "Improving Social Integration of Relocates" project, which also included seminars on Georgia’s historical and socio-political context, Georgian language courses, and a pilot dialogue workshop.

From November 23-26, 2023, Corridors, in collaboration with TEMI-Community, organized a workshop at the new Peace Camp site in Gremi. Young participants from Georgia engaged in sessions on peacebuilding, sustainability, and sustainable construction, gaining both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience while contributing to the camp’s development.

On October 19-20, 2023, Corridors conducted a workshop at the Republican Pedagogical Psychological Center of Armenia, training fifteen Armenian teachers in trauma-informed pedagogical approaches. The sessions covered key topics such as trauma in the school context, intergenerational and collective trauma, victimization cycles, and post-traumatic growth.

Led by trainers Ani Yengibaryan and Paata Alaverdashvili, the workshop equipped participants with practical skills to create supportive learning environments for children facing trauma. This initiative, funded by the Heinrich Böll Foundation South Caucasus Office, reflects Corridors’ commitment to fostering trauma-informed education in the region.

In September 0f 2023, Corridors hosted a two-part workshop on Theatre of the Oppressed in the Context of Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation in Dilijan, Armenia (Sept 18-22) and Tbilisi, Georgia (Sept 25-29). The training introduced 24 participants from Armenia, Georgia, and Germany to theatre methods such as image theatre, newspaper theatre, and forum theatre—powerful tools for analyzing and addressing conflicts on individual, collective, and global levels.

This was Corridors’ first time integrating theatre methods into peace education, and the experience was a great success. Participants then received mentoring support to implement their own theatre-based initiatives in their communities.
