Description of the Organization

The experience of the peaceful "Wende" in 1989 awakened in many people the hope that a Germany without a military could be possible. This hope led people from various civil initiatives in Halle together to found the Friedenskreis in 1990. The Friedenskreis Halle e.V. is an group of people of differing world views, religions, nationalities and political affiliations. We see peace not as a state of being or as a distant goal, and not simply as the absence of war. Peace is for us a means to a common, just and non-violent life together in diversity, where the personal development and liberty of the individual is made possible. The conception of this life together is always a new experience. This is why we try to explore, find and pass on new ways of doing so, while never forgetting to question the same. We are consequently involved in education, peace-associated activities and in projects for civil conflict resolution on both the domestic and international levels. Our work is made possible by paid and voluntary staff and carried through donations and public subsidies. Our current programme and projects

  • Seminars and educational programmes in the areas of communication, conflict resolution, mediation, dealing with violence and learning how to speak out
  • Consulting for initiatives and projects
  • Lectures and seminars on current peace-associated themes
  • Civil conflict resolution through the development of an educational and encounter centre in Jajce, Bosnia.
  • Work camps, youth encounters and volunteer work in the countries of the Balkans.
  • Counselling on military service and conscientious objection
  • Cooperation in activities and campaigns against militarisation
  • Coordination of the initiative "Zivilcourage: Bündnis für Gewaltlosigkeit, Demokratie und Toleranz in Halle"
