  • The VSS is on!🌻🌻🌻 The Volunteer Summer Summit or VSS is a yearly event organised by EFIL where volunteers from different AFS organisations come together, discuss, network and find solutions on how to make our world more just and peaceful! ☮️🌍☮️🌎☮️🌏☮️ Currently 160 volunteers are attending the event attending and training workshops on the topic Civic Education against extremism in Utøya, Norway. After the tragic events that took place in 2011, Utøya has been reopened as both a place of memory and a workshop for democracy and civic education; it now hosts organisations to empower people to stand against extremism through learning, reflection, dialogue and the purposeful re-habitation of the island in the face of extreme violence. The theme has been thoughtfully chosen to reflect the history of the island and to act as a catalyst for an open and honest discussion about extremism in its many forms, and how to counter it through civic education. #EFILafs #efilvss18

  • We had amazing participants in the first PEACE cycle. One of the participants shared her experience: A major throwback to this amazing day of my life. Someone told me these exchanges change you, but trust me @afspeaceprogram not only changed me but changed the way i think and my life. I'm honoured and equally thankful to @afspeaceprogram @afsprograms for accepting me to this program, for believing in me and most importantly for taking us to the #europeanparliament . You made my dream come true ❤❤. Thanks for making me more HUMAN
