Lernen aus der Vergangenheit

ZFD-Fachaustausch zur Unterstützung der Vergangenheitsarbeit
Fachaustausch zur Vergangenheitsarbeit ZFD | https://www.ziviler-friedensdienst.org

Wie können Vertrauen und politische Strukturen in Krisensituation wachsen? Eine Voraussetzung dafür ist es, sich differenziert und sensibel mit der gewaltsamen Vergangenheit auseinanderzusetzen. Wie können Fachkräfte die Bevölkerungen in einer Zeit des Wandels dabei unterstützen, aus der Vergangenheit zu lernen? Damit setzten sich Anfang Mai Fachkräfte und Partner des Zivilen Friedensdienst (ZFD) in Berlin auseinander.

Zum Austausch über das Thema „Psychosocial Support and Social Transformation – a Field of Tension?“ („Psychosoziale Unterstützung und sozialer Wandel – ein Spannungsfeld“) begrüßte das Konsortium ZFD Teilnehmende der ZDF-Träger aus aller Welt. Sie alle setzen sich für Gewaltprävention und Friedensförderung ein. Die Veranstaltung ermöglichte es den Teilnehmenden, Erfahrungen und Perspektiven aus verschiedenen Ländern miteinander zu teilen und voneinander zu lernen.

Den Bericht der Veranstaltung finden Sie hier.

“Security is more than just military strength”: Catholic Responses to Armament and Crisis

The Katholikentag in Würzburg has shown that peace, security and development go hand in hand. In this interview, Dorothee Klüppel, a member of FriEnt’s Steering Committee and Head of the Africa/Middle East Department at Misereor, explains why security is more than just military strength, why justice, democracy and international cooperation are key prerequisites for sustainable peace and what special role church actors play in this – particularly in times of rearmament and geopolitical tensions.
