Mission and Objectives

With our work, we pursue our aims of promoting international and intercultural understanding, tolerance and democratic values, especially in conflict affected areas and regions. By this, we support a non-violent conflict management culture. Through our projects we aim for promoting a critical democratic culture, understanding among different groups beyond borders and creating a constructive dialogue.

Main Projects / Activities

Since 2007 we working in the fields of civic education and civil conflict management. Our work is mainly focused on the development of a strong, active civil society and a non-violent management of conflicts. To achieve these objectives we basically rely on the method of simulation gaming. By now we have a long-term experience in developing and using the method, as well as in training it. Our focus regions so far are the Western Balkans and the South Caucasus. Furthermore, CRISP sees itself as a platform for other projects, so to say we are open for project proposals of others, why we support also different ideas and approaches from our partners and members.
