The #youths set high expectations for the camp, seeking answers to questions such as: "How is this camp different from all the others?" - "What tools can bridge the gap between #cultures and #religions?" - "How can we connect our work in these rooms to our communities?" etc.

Our camp #citizenstogether started yesterday. Youth leaders from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Denmark are reflecting on innovative tools and processes for sustainable peacebuilding in their regions. Ready to know more about their reflections? Follow us! @danmissiondk
