Between 25th-29th March 2010 International Alert held an Armenian-Azerbaijani Youth Peace Forum in Amman, Jordan. 25 participants from across the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict divide travelled to Jordan to meet with counterparts from the other side.
The young Armenians and Azerbaijanis took part in training workshops as well as in interactive exercises. The trainers and the facilitators of the Youth Forum were representatives of the older generation of peace activists who have been working in the region with Alert for more than a decade.
Three days of trainings, trips to historical places and fun activities were an experience that many of the young participants will remember as defining their learning process and in their discovery of the young generation that lives across the dividing conflict line.
The Forum was part of Alert’s work with Armenians and Azerbaijanis to underpin the Nagorny Karabakh conflict resolution process.
