The Raising Peace campaign has become a strategic long-term campaign for the CCIVS and its members, developing knowledge, capacities and activism in the field of Human Rights and Peace. The Raising Peace Campaign is a plural campaign that gathers dozens of organisations, over a hundred professionals and activists, and involves hundreds of people every year, in activities which involve training, awareness-raising, communication, advocacy and volunteering.The main idea for this Study Session is that participants and the movement will get prepared and empowered for new steps of the Campaign, which increase the impact of the movement in the field of Human Rights and Peace.
This activity will bring the possibility to volunteers, staff and activists who participated during the 2014 and 2015 Raising Peace Campaign editions to meet, learn from their experiences, and develop their knowledge in order to be ready to walk beyond the present achievements. The horizon is to advance in the guarantee of human rights in Europe and the rest of the world, consolidating the International Voluntary Service movement as a relevant actor for this goal.
