Who are the thirty volunteers who participated in the training activity in Egypt – Training of Trainers – promoted by AMU as part of the project I, Ambassador of Peace ? Why did they decide to take part in this initiative? Between February and March, these thirty volunteers followed a series of lessons to learn how to teach the fundamental values of peace, dialogue, respect for others . They were precious hours of training, as some of them tell us. After all The project I, Ambassador of Peace aims precisely to ensure that Egyptian society re-appropriates those principles that have been its basis for centuries, when religious pluralism, respect for women, and support for the most vulnerable people were shared values .
Noura ,
a girl with big, smiling eyes, was selected to follow this path of education for peace, which she now tells, aware of the difficulties that the Egyptian community is currently experiencing: “The idea of teaching these values is especially effective at this time, in Egypt, because there are many children who grow up in a context where the only goal is to get food, and their parents have no interest in passing on values that they themselves know nothing about.” For Eman
taking part in the Training of Trainers training was also an important moment for her own life path: “I learned a lot about the world, about myself and about others. I like the idea of communicating these values and having discovered that I can pass on to others what I have learned so as to help them acquire skills and tools”. 
Each of the volunteers who followed the training did so starting from personal stimuli, yes, which then met with the motivations of others in a climate of collaboration and respect for others. Mushira , another of the female volunteers who were students of the peace education course, also started from a personal need: “My children had grown up and I had unused energy and time”. She therefore dedicated herself to this new experience which “was very useful: it made me start reading more and think about how I can help Egyptian children”.
