Mission and Objectives

We are striving to
- enhance young people's awareness of the social and political issues of their region and their time
- stimulate a self determined perception and judgement of social reality
- help resist indoctrination and incitement to violence
- train youth in speaking up and expressing their opinion
- offering an occasion to get to know young people from other parts of the world and learn about their society and culture
- help them communicate with people from other countries in a foreign language
- stimulate an attitude of, and appropriate skills for active citizenship
- stimulate reflection on issues of national identity:  what it means to be a "European"/A Jewish Israeli/A Palestinian etc.
In 2013, Evelyn Böhmer-Laufer has  received the Honorary Cross for Science and the Arts from the Austrian Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture for ten continuous years of peacecamp work.

Main Projects / Activities

The main activities are annual "peacecamps" - multicultural encounters of four different groups of young people. They always involve Palestinian and Jewish Israelis and two European groups - one from Austria plus one from a country  behind the former Iron Curtain. So far we had Slovenian and Hungarian groups participating in peacecamps.
peacecamps' main activities are:
- getting-to know the "other's" culture, religion, history, society, nation, social reality, etc.
- learning the narrative of the "other"
- cope with mission impossible challenges
- debating (listening, arguing, speaking up one's mind)
- talking/presenting issues to an audience
- going on stage (giving a speech, a presentation, performing on stage)
- show4peace and welcome reception with speeches, awards and many invited guests (public figures and private persons)
Our experience is based on 12 peacecamps which we have realized since 2004, each new and different from the previous ones in many respects - with a different focus, different workshops, team-members, workshop-leaders and participants each time.
Right now peacecamp no. 13 is in preparation for July 2015.

Artistic Freedom under attack: Resistance and Resilience Film Screening and Discussion on Ukraine & India

Soumis par Austria le mar 22/03/2022 - 10:03
Invitation Artistic Freedom Under Attack

Payal Kapadia's film “A Night of Knowing Nothing” (India/France 2021) shows it clearly: artistic freedom presupposes that spaces for art and culture are open, democratic and anti-discriminatory. Repression of artists and cultural workers can manifest itself in many different ways.

On 7 April, a conversation about violations of artistic freedom and alliances of solidarity, focusing on Ukraine and India, is taking place at 19:30 in Top Kino in Vienna, with Sarita Jenamani (Pen Austria, Poet), Dariia Kuzmych (artist) & Klara Koštal (Austrian Commission for UNESCO), moderated by Cristina Peregrina.

Trailer: A Night of Knowing Nothing

The event is entirely in English. Info & Tickets at www.topkino.at
