We human beings have the potential to organise our lives together constructively and co-operatively and in harmony with Nature. All that is required is the courage to transform the idea into reality. The Peace Workshop is an international centre in Switzerland. Young people from all over the world will come to the Workshop for a year in order to work together for a better present and future. These aims are to be achieved through philosophical discourse, spiritual practice and meditation, political work for global aims, networking with other organisations and contact with international celebrities.
Continuity is maintained by a multicultural steering committee.
The participants will be young people aged 18-30 who have been accepted on the basis of detailed applications and recommendations. The workshop is planned to open in autumn 2001. The steering committee and the Council of the Global Initiative will carry forward the development of the Workshop until then. Overall co-ordinator is Roland Schutzbach, who founded the Global Initiative in 1994. Our time urgently needs a new kind of thinking about peace and about the future.
