The Berghof Foundation has a long history of funding projects on nonviolence and nonviolent action, especially in Germany.
The foundation understands nonviolent resistance as a central dimension of conflict transformation, especially in contexts of highly asymmetrical power relations, where negotiations and reconciliation needs to be preceded by effective methods of levelling the playing field between conflict parties
Focus Areas
It is particularly interested in pursuing (or supporting) research, training and educational activities that focus on the following dimensions of nonviolence:
- Violence prevention through peaceful activism and educational learning
- Transitions between violent and nonviolent resistance
- The role of peaceful mobilisation and nonviolent accompaniment in contexts of armed conflict
- Interplay between nonviolent conflict and negotiations, post-struggle democratisation, reconciliation
- Nonviolent education as part of curricula development (schools and universities)
