Consulting

IKUD® Seminare stands for interculturalism and didactics and is the professional answer to the increasing demand for training, coaching and consulting services in the field of international cooperation. We train and advise businesses, organisations or individuals who operate internationally or plan to extend their communication and management skills in a European or wider international context.

We also specialise in the training of persons who plan to work, or are already working, as trainers and/or coaches. Increased globalisation and cultural diversity mean that intercultural communication skills are required in many areas of professional and private life, and the demand for qualified Intercultural Trainers is rising accordingly.

The Institute for Global Church and Mission (IWM) is a missiological institute of the German Bishops' Conference at the Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Sankt Georgen in Frankfurt/Main.

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
