What is Paths to Peace?

Welcome to Paths to Peace (P2P) — a bold new Erasmus+ project that puts young people at the heart of peacebuilding through tourism. Launched in 2024, the project is a response to one of the most urgent questions of our time: How can we help young people take meaningful action in divided communities, conflict-affected regions, and a polarised Europe? 

Why This Project, Why Now? 

Across Europe, young people are navigating growing divides — from the impacts of war to the rise of social tensions. At the same time, tourism remains a powerful force for connecting people, preserving culture, and creating shared understanding. But too often, youth are excluded from shaping how tourism is used for social good. 

Paths to Peace was funded to change that. Supported by the Erasmus+ Programme, the project recognises that youth are not just future leaders — they are leaders now. And with the right tools, they can design and lead tourism-based initiatives that actively promote peace. 

Who are the other collaborators?

Alongside the IIP, this consortium brings together expertise in peacebuilding, tourism, youth training, and digital education: 

  • Hub Nicosia – Youth work and intercultural education 

  • Momentum – Dissemination, learning design, and creative communication 

Follow us on our journey as we turn ideas into action, tourism into transformation, and young people into peacebuilders. Paths to Peace is not just a project — it’s a movement.
