About Us

Peace Counts focuses on the work of successful peacebuilders around the world. The research is published in the form of texts, photos and articles for radio and television. The results are incorporated into exhibitions that are shown in conflict regions and in Germany, accompanied by peace education seminars and journalism trainings. Peace Counts Project is carried by Berghof Foundation, Zeitenspiegel Reportagen and the Culture Counts Foundation gGmbH.
