… EDUCATION FOR PEACE …
An article from SALTO-youth
Conference – Symposium – Forum
2-4 November 2026 | Penik, Bulgaria
This event is designed as a comprehensive platform for the consortium to widely disseminate the results of their innovative work in game-based peace-building methodologies
InnovatorsLab: Gen Z’s Game-Based Peace Building is a transformative initiative empowering Generation Z to lead peacebuilding efforts through creativity, technology, and play. Backed by the Erasmus+ Programme, our cross-border project unites organizations from Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia to co-develop groundbreaking methods in conflict transformation. We believe that Gen Z learns differently—they are digital natives, collaborative thinkers, and value-driven. Our mission is to create interactive, gamified, and impactful educational tools that resonate with their needs while building a culture of peace.
