South Caucasus Youth Peace Summer School

“The SCYPSS had such a meaning for everyone involved, as well as for me, that the beneficial results will continue to be effective for the rest of my life. It was different from other schools by the presence of a unique environment that promoted such development as unity on several platforms, the desire to discover new things, and the involvement of young people. It helped me to see how willing young people are to be representatives of innovation in the world (within the framework of this school, also in the region). And I am glad that there were such young people. The most important thing is that there was a desire to create everything on the basis of peace. Getting acquainted with new young people and the best professors was something special.”

“The First South Caucasus Youth Peace Summer School gave me valuable experience in life. The properly prepared academic curricula, the professional faculty as well as the friendly and respectful environment created by the staff ensured a smooth and productive program. The combination of both theoretical and practical assignments, reflections and cultural events ensured and motivated us to actively be involved in discussions and freely express our thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I truly believe that we need to sustain such a safe and supportive platform for youth, where dialogue and the region-wide network of active youth is created.”

“The summer school program at SCYPSS holds great significance for me as a person and professional who actively participates in peace-building projects and activities. It has taught me that cultural and other differences are meaningless when people can find common ground to enjoy each other's company. The summer school is like a great family get-together where everyone talks about all the things that need improvement. I'd love to meet the participants more often!”
