First things first: It is important to note, that one becomes an official member of TRANSCEND International only by invitation through the board of convenors. This being said, there are many ways of joining TRANSCEND International's efforts. Now: Why Join our efforts? Because you know that peace is not everything, but everything around us amounts to naught without it. So what is peace? Because you share with us the need to know in intimate and systematic detail which are the means available to our species to improve our societies and living conditions in such a way that they allow for more equitable and mutually beneficial interaction in the domestic as well as in the international arena. But how? Because you have an inkling or have done your homework and already know for a fact, that the current dominant cultural, political, military, economic and academic paradigmes are ecologically inconsistent, highly inadequate for nonviolent conflict resolution and interculturally incompetent due -among other things- to inbuilt singularisms. So what can "I" do about it? Because you have the energy and the desire to use your brain to serve the dissemination of structure literacy, conflict literacy and nonviolent conflict resolution.

TRANSCEND International was founded in 1993 and has launched a peace
service with mediation-conciliation and resolution services in more than 100 conflicts up to this day; has developped a research institute, an online university, a university-press in two, soon four languages; a weekly media service and is now proud to be cooperating with the World Peace Academy a department certified by the University of Basel in Switzerland. All of this was achieved without any outside funding, earning our way through workshops and publications. Click here to hide.
Especially because outside funding from State or Capital may come with strings attached to often intransparent vested interests, we highly value donations from likeminded international citizens. Allow us to appeal to your trust as we continue to put all contribution to good use for our wide range of activities that can be summed up as: solutions-oriented peace-work.

Increasing fulfillment through cooperation, harmony and fusion, peace building, development, structural peace, cultural peace and spirituality. Key contact: Johan Galtung galtung@transcend.org SABONA (Zulu for "I see You") is TRANSCEND in daily life--schools, couples and family, at work--to help people understand what happens in conflicts, how conflicts can be solved and better relations be built. From experimental schools in Norway the program is now expanding. Key contact: Synove Faldalen synove.faldalen@lyse.net GENERALS FOR PEACE. During the Cold War Generals and Admirals for Peace voiced military arguments against the type of warfare contemplated. The same is needed today. Key contact: Emma Leslie emma@online.com.kh CONFLICT SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT. Based on deep knowledge of Sri Lanka, the Institute for Integrative Conflict Transformation and Peace-building (IICP) in Vienna was asked to design a conflict sensitive development program--beyond reconstruction--in one Sinhalese, one Tamil and one Muslim village, as well as a joint peace resource center, after the 2004 tsunami. Key contact: Gudrun Kramer kramer@iicp.at THE ARAB WORLD. 22 countries and more than 300 million, with numerous key conflicts within and without call for the use of
MIDDLE EAST. The Israeli/Palestinian conflict has so far defied interventions. TRANSFORM (The Interdisciplinary Centre for Conflict Analysis, Political Development and World Society Research) is currently building a network of Facilitators for Peace in the Middle East and is developing a methodology for Social Transformation in Conflict. It is also disseminating TRANSCEND's approach of pursuing peace by peaceful means. Key contacts: Ahmed Badawi and Ofer Zalzberg info@transform-centre.org AFRICA. More than 50 countries and 500 nations call for creative use of peace resources in deep cultures and structures, giving nations prominence in federations and opening up in communities, with focus on the baraza and other peace resources. Key contact: Rais Boneza rais.boneza@gmail.com (NORTH-)EAST ASIA. The problem facing a (North-)East Asian region with China and Taiwan, the two Koreas and Japan--cooperating with Russia Far East--is Japan, often referred to as the US 51st state. On the other hand, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization includes Central and South Asia. Creative reconciliation and new approaches are needed. Key contact: Kyoko Okumoto okumoto@wilmina.ac.jp THE INVISIBLE CONTINENT. The state system and inter-governmental organizations, playing their often lethal games, are highly visible; less so the millions of human generally living peaceful lives, facing deep conflicts, performing miracles of conflict transformation and peace building. Stories pass from generation to generation and groups to groups through griots, to be made more visible. Key contacts: Naakow Grant-Hayford and Karoline Weber peaceservice@transcend.org FROM STATE FOREIGN POLICIES TO GLOBAL DOMESTIC POLITICS. The state system is yielding to regionalization and globalization. State foreign policies can no longer be based on (dominant) nation interests only but have to be aligned with regional and nature-human-global interests. The program calls for joint efforts in many states, like Ministries for Peace, solutions for inter-regional conflicts, and global visions for Weltinnenpolitik. Key contacts: Johan Galtung galtung@transcend.org and George Kent kent@hawaii.edu TRANSCEND Art and Peace Network We believe that the creative spirit within all human beings can transcend the forces of contradiction and conflict and that people can achieve peaceful conflict transformation and peacebuilding at the personal, local, and global levels. Music and the arts can play a major role in inspiring people towards the enhancement of more peace and justice in our societies. The goal of this website is to encourage virtual and actual collaboration between people of all cultures, civilizations and backgrounds, concerning research into the power of the arts for peacebuilding.
