This book provides an insight into the work <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Bergh<strong>of</strong></strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
over the past <strong>50</strong> <strong>years</strong>. We also introduce you to some <strong>of</strong> our<br />
colleagues and partners and their individual stories. While only a<br />
small selection, they represent the talent, passion, and determination<br />
<strong>of</strong> our entire staff and all our partners. Without them, <strong>Bergh<strong>of</strong></strong><br />
would not have been able to achieve the impact we present in this<br />
book — nor would we have been able to publish it. Like all <strong>of</strong> our work,<br />
this book is a collaborative effort and could only be realised thanks<br />
to the many contributions <strong>of</strong> our staff and partners who wrote texts,<br />
contributed pictures, and provided stories and interviews. The result<br />
is a testimony <strong>of</strong> our work that spans over <strong>50</strong> <strong>years</strong> and 130 pages.<br />
We hope it encourages our staff and partners, both current and<br />
future, to continue to add to our achievements and to continue to work<br />
towards our vision <strong>of</strong> a world in which people engage with each other<br />
constructively, and together seek inclusive and peaceful ways<br />
to address the grievances and issues that divide them.<br />
Support us<br />
We want to build on our success <strong>of</strong> the past<br />
<strong>50</strong> <strong>years</strong> and continue to contribute to a more<br />
peaceful world. With your help, we can.<br />
We are regularly asked to engage in<br />
mediation, conduct trainings, or support efforts<br />
to build and foster peace around the world.<br />
So far, the <strong>Bergh<strong>of</strong></strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> and its<br />
partners have only been able to secure funding<br />
for some <strong>of</strong> these activities. We want to do much<br />
more to enable sustainable peace — and with your<br />
support, we can.<br />
Help us ensure our impact is sustainable.<br />
We are looking for partners — individuals,<br />
the private sector, the public sector, media or<br />
academia — to support our work.<br />
