As of 2012 the former Berghof Conflict Research, Berghof Peace Support and Institute for Peace Education Tübingen (ift) have come together as part of a revamped Berghof Foundation. The Berghof Foundation has been given a new structure and organisational setting – merging the manifold operational competences in conflict research, peace support and peace education, being complemented with targeted grant-making that draws upon the traditional philanthropic funding provided by the Zundel family to further nurture peacebuilding and conflict transformation.
Currently everyone at Berghof Foundation is working hard to develop a new joint website. Within the coming weeks and months the content from our old websites (Berghof Foundation.de, Conflict Research, Peace Support, Friedenspaedagogik.de and Berghof Handbook) will be linked up and transferred to the new overarching Berghof Foundation.org. The existing websites will remain available during this transition period, until all the information has been made accessible on the new site. We apologize for any inconvenience.

It is now already three months since our esteemed colleague Dekha Ibrahim Abdi has passed on following a severe car accident. We continue to miss her presence. Alice Nderitu, like Dekha a contributor to our Berghof Handbook Dialogue Series, has written a moving testimony of Dekha’s life and work in Kenya which we would like to share with you. You can find a biography of the Right Livelihood Award winner here.
