Several decades of experience and extensive knowledge from the peace- and the ecology movement contribute to the work of the Workshop. It is an institution that imparts action experiences and the practice of non-violence under current conditions.
In training and seminars we support the preparation of non-violent actions, for example of groups in the environmental movement, the peace movement or of groups critical of globalisation. In institutions for adult education and with different occupational groups we carry out seminars and training in non-violent conflict handling. Furthermore we have been running training curricula for qualifications in non-violent conflict handling for several years.
The methods of active non-violence empower people to act in every-day life and in political conflicts and to advocate their interests against destructive developments of our time. The private and the political here go hand in hand: without violence but not without power.
