Recent years have seen a dramatic increase of mass nonviolent movements around the globe, taking the street and the online space to demand radical reforms towards greater democracy, justice, peace or equal rights. External support to nonviolent movements can help prevent violent escalation, mitigate repression, protect civic space, facilitate conflict transformation and foster sustainable peace. In a global context where the shrinking of civic space is coupled with the proliferation of protests, the European Union needs to develop a strategy to deal with nonviolent movements consistently and effectively. This paper explores the role that different EU institutional actors can play in supporting nonviolent movements and puts forward some basic recommendations to develop a more coherent conceptual framework and factor peaceful protests into the EU’s external action.

In diesem umfassenden Bericht zu Friedensbildung im deutschsprachigen Raum, schaffen wir einen Überblick zu aktuellen Entwicklungen, Ansätzen und Chancen der Friedensbildung. Unsere Forschung zeigt, dass Friedensbildung nicht nur hochaktuell ist, sondern gerade im schulischen Kontext an Bedeutung gewinnt. Wir schlussfolgern damit, dass Friedensbildung nur dann weitflächig und nachhaltig einen Unterschied macht, wenn sie strukturell im Bildungssystem verankert ist und sich auf qualifiziertes Lehrpersonal und außerschulische Bildungsakteur*innen stützen kann.
