New: Breeze research reports

Our newest research report "Toward Transformative Conflict-Sensitivity in Youth Work" explores how young people across Georgia, Germany, Spain, and Ukraine understand conflict, peace, and their role in shaping more inclusive and resilient communities.

 

 

The report introduces the concept of transformative conflict-sensitivity, offering practical insights for youth workers, educators, and civil society organisations on how to recognise conflict dynamics, create safer spaces, and support young people as active peacebuilders rather than passive beneficiaries.

Our research report "Toward Transformative Trauma-Sensitivity in Youth Work and Peace Education" takes an in depth look at how young people in Georgia, Germany, Spain, and Ukraine understand and experience trauma. The findings show that trauma is widespread yet often invisible, shaped by war, displacement, school based humiliation, poverty, discrimination, and social instability. 

 
The report introduces a new framework called transformative trauma sensitivity, offering youth workers and peace educators practical guidance on reading trauma in context and building safer, more empowering environments for young people. It brings together real stories, cross country insights, and recommendations for more responsive and culturally grounded youth work.
