PROJECT DESCRIPTION (EN)
Initial situation
Serious human rights violations by countless militias and the regular armed forces in eastern Congo as well as the electoral crisis in Burundi in 2015 prompted thousands of residents of these countries to seek refuge in Rwanda.
Refugees and Rwandans now live closely together and often share the same infrastructure and few resources. There are prejudices and distrust on both sides due to inequality and unequal treatment. These challenges and the psychological stress on the refugees subsequently generate conflicts and violence - both within the refugee camps and between the residents of the refugee camps and the host communities.
Goal
Young people from refugee camps and the surrounding host communities overcome prejudices and resolve their conflicts non-violently.
Approach
The project supports measures in the refugee camps of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Mahama, Kigeme and Mugombwa and in the surrounding host communities.
With its partner organizations Vision Jeunesse Nouvelle (VJN), Ejo Youth Echo (EYE), Église Evangélique des Amis au Rwanda (EEAR) and the Legal Aid Forum (LAF), it promotes a culture of peace between refugees and host communities. It uses creative and interactive methods - such as conflict-sensitive media production, educational cinema, forum theater and sports.
The project also trains local service providers and works with representatives who have management functions in the camp and host communities on non-violent conflict resolution.
