J. Galtung "Positiver Frieden"
-
Our project is based on Johan Galtung's concept of positive peace which goes far beyond the mere absence of war and physical violence. It emphasizes the necessity for profound social, economic, and cultural changes to create a just, inclusive, and sustainable society. Positive peace requires the elimination of structural violence, the promotion of justice and cultural diversity, sustainable development practices, non-violent conflict resolution mechanisms, the empowerment and participation of all members of society, and education that fosters awareness and values for harmonious coexistence. Only through the comprehensive implementation of these principles can a society achieve genuine and lasting peace.
