MISSION STATEMENT<br />
"TFF is an independent not-for-profit think and action tank, a global network and a website. Our mission is peace by peaceful means<br />
- learning to handle conflicts with ever less violence - and reconciliation. Our tools are research, new ideas, listening, mitigation,<br />
education and advocacy."<br />
Founding year 1986.<br />
BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES<br />
<strong>The</strong> main foci of TFF today are:<br />
1. On-the-ground conflict mitigation, analytical and reconciliation work such as in Burundi, former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Iran and other<br />
places in the Middle East as well as Greenland;<br />
2. General themes: peace by peaceful means, reconciliation and related issues in theory and practice;<br />
3. Dissemination: education, training courses, media work and other public outreach. This point is given more emphasis in future<br />
activities in two integrated activities: general analyses of the media in conflict and peace, including peace journalism and the<br />
development and implementation of a communications and media strategy for TFF itself".<br />
