Global Campus
world wide education initiative

As members of a global society each one of us arrives to the questions of how best can we contribute to creating not only a world without war, but also a world where we live in profound peace, in truth and trust, and intelligent compassion towards all beings that live on earth.
In the present world situation these questions have never been more timely or urgent than now. Everyday we are given numerous examples of how the world is no longer able to sustain the methods of living, thinking and acting that we, as human beings, have become so accustomed to.
The aim of the Global Campus is to provide a significant contribution to developing knowledge and experience that can actively answer those questions. Drawing on contemporary expertise in all-encompassing and sustainable themes the Global Campus offers a globally reaching education program that is relevant not only to our present situation, but most importantly, to our peaceful future. One part of its vision is that the Global Campus will affect and contribute to a major shift in the knowledge and experiential structures of humanity.

Creating Models

The uniqueness of the Global Campus is that the education programmes are based within intentional models of social living – actively developed and developing social models whose aims are to create inclusive, all-encompassing and nonviolent forms of living. These models are gradually being built up around the world and will provide a profound education in all areas of life: community knowledge, sustainable technologies, ecology, permaculture, conflict resolution, peaceful dialogue, and political spirituality. Particular focus is given to developing peaceful relations between the genders.

The first base camp of the Global Campus is the peace research centre Tamera which, in 2010, will provide peace education for approximately 200 international students. Parallel to this, the project is supporting education programmes and training in Colombia (San Jose de Apartado), Palestine (The Holy Land Trust), Brazil (Favela da Paz), United States and Europe (Switzerland, Germany, Portugal).

Scholarship Fund

Each year the amount of peace workers from crisis and impoverished areas of the world who wish to take part in the education programmes offered at Tamera are greatly increasing. For many, the relevant, profound and complex education and training offer the possibility not only of a change in perspective for their own lives, but also very real solutions for their families, neighbourhoods, communities and organisations. Knowledge and training is empowerment, and for those who experience the very daily reality of conflict and violence it is also a matter of survival. Building autonomous models that do not destroy, but instead support the regeneration of our planet and us as human beings is an essential element.
We thank all those peace workers who have committed themselves already to completing the Monte Cerro peace education.
To support more and more peace workers from crisis areas to take part in this education we need financial support.
