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