Description of the Organization

One World work, World Church theology, intercultural communication and conflict management are the areas in which many committed people have taken seminars and continuing education courses at our head mission office for more than ten years now.

Process-Oriented Themes
The process-oriented themes are related in an interactive process involving participants and partners as well as experts in the head mission office: from Dialog Lernen (learning the dialog - 1992), Nachhaltige Solidarität (sustainable solidarity- 1995), and Neue Nachbarschaften (new neighbors - 1999), to today's main focus on Differenzen und Allianzen (differences and alliances) as well as Solidarkompetenz (solidarity competence).

Within the framework of the 'A Soul for Europe' program, the 'Ecumenical Village' (Graz, 1997) and 'Neue Modelle von Solidarität im heutigen Europa lehren und lernen' (teaching and learning new models of solidarity in today's Europe) 2000/2001, have represented important contributions.

Recognition
These programs have been and continue to be supported by the European Union as well as church and state authorities.

Solidarity workshops represent high-quality continuing education measures for students of social and educational professions, members of social groups and programs focus on:

    Agenda 2000
    the monitoring of the financial markets (ATTAC)
    One World
    minority problems
    topics on environmental/ecological sustainability
    the gender issue

in Central Europe (at present Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Austria, the Netherlands, and Germany).

Members of social movements and the movements for the landless, women, Blacks and the indigenous people participate from Brazil and India. Training for solidarity competence deals with solidarity in the political domain, professionalism and personality, differences and conflicts, and of boundaries and culture.

Target groups are:

    returnees from Third World countries
    committed individuals in the area of solidarity work
    training groups such as university seminars and
    training for pastors and deacons.

Description of the Organization

Culture and Development is the documentation office of arts and culture for Africa, Asia and Latin America. It works together closely with artists who come from these continents, who have been living in Switzerland for a long time and who work in the areas of music, dance, theatre, literature, narratives, and the visual arts.

Other partners of C&D are organisers, agencies, cultural and development policy-related organisations, schools, churches as well as private and public financial aid programmes. A small and flexible team communicates information and works on building contacts to culturally productive individuals. Apart from this, it also serves as an adviser in arts-related and organisational matters and
fosters the networking of all people working in the domain of the "cultures of the south".

Various events and projects lacking adequate funding can receive support from Culture and Development.

Culture and Development is the cultural workshop of the following relief organisations: Brot Für Alle, Fastenopfer, Swiss Aid, and Terre des Hommes Schweiz. C&D is financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and Pro Helvetia, the Swiss cultural foundation. The objective of the organisation is to integrate artists from Latin America, Africa, and Asia into the Swiss cultural landscape, stimulate the intercultural dialogues and cultivate respect vis-a-vis the cultural values of other peoples. Culture and Development was given a culture prize by the Canton of Bern in 1998.
