|
PROGRESS: Has your organization
seen progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain
of action and in your constituency during the second half of the
Decade? |
We
see some progress in intercultural understanding and in the encounter
of people of different faiths, especially in Germany. On the other side
we see also an increase of fundamentalistic activities and islamophobic
polemics.
|
OBSTACLES: Has your organization faced any obstacles to implementing the culture of peace and nonviolence? If so, what were they?
|
Obstacles
are the fact that we are a small organization with members who work on
a voluntary base. So that we have difficulties to present our
activities in the medias, e.g. in the national newspapers or in the TV.
|
PLANS: What new engagements are
planned by your organization in the short, medium and long term to
promote a culture of peace and nonviolence? |
We
work together with the university of Essen (working place for
interreligious learning), we plan new conferences asking what can
religions do to promote a climate of reconciliation.
|
GLOBAL MOVEMENT: How do you think the culture of peace and nonviolence could be strengthened and supported at the world level??
|
It
is necessary that the different organizations are linked together and
try to hold contacts continuously by mail or by encounters on different
levels.
