Building Relationships

I ► Others (We) ► Society     

 

The world is in crisis. There is a strong need everywhere to feel more secure and safe. But security is more than increasing weapons, fences and survey cameras! Security also means a subjective feeling of security - a state of well-being, (inter-)connectedness, confidence and intercultural / intergroup understanding. This subjective dimensions of security, including a person’s emotional management, can be trained. Security needs SECURING CITIZENS - people who discover their potential for agency in crisis, their visions, values and convictions. They wage conflicts constructively and comprehend personal development as benificial for the whole society.

All projects of Culture for Peace support local efforts for non-violent, civil and democratic empowerment while we connect local partners with communities and other change makers regardless of religion, ethnicity, caste, gender, age or political background.
