In Berlin, Germany Copernicus Berlin organized a workshop to build on lessons from the “Youth in Action” training in Yerevan, Armenia. The event brought together young professionals and youth workers to explore the link between peacebuilding and career empowerment.
From Dialogue to Direction Participants explored how skills such as empathy, active listening, and conflict resolution can improve not only community dialogue but also workplace readiness. Workshop Goals- Connect peacebuilding with personal development and employability.
- Build participants’ confidence in conflict-sensitive communication.
- Develop tools for managing group dynamics in diverse environments.
- Empathy Interviews – Paired listening sessions to practice respectful dialogue.
- CV of Strengths – Writing exercises focused on non-formal skills gained through conflict experiences.
- Mediation Roleplay – Simulated workplace conflicts and peer resolution.
“I learned that the same skills I use in conflict mediation are valuable in job interviews and teamwork.”Outputs and Legacy Copernicus Berlin developed a mini-guide, “Skills from Conflict,” now used in employability coaching workshops across the city.
