Peace Club
“Peace Club” is an initiative that was implemented between November 2020 and October 2021 by Dancers Citizens South in partnership with “Search for Common Ground” and “The Youth National Observatory”. With a strong focus on art and citizenship, the club offered a fertile ground for members to explore the transformative potential of creative expression along with the sense of citizenship. The groups’ fundamental activities took place in Mareth Youth Centre, where young people from this marginalized region gained access to a workshop aimed at exploring and developing effective strategies from networking to improving communication skills and utilizing self-marketing mechanisms to promote personal and professional growth.

Citizenship-focused programs contributed to educating members about their rights, responsibilities, and the importance of active participation in shaping society and promoting social justice.
