mission statement
It´s safe to say we are not standing on safe ground. We are in way over our heads.
And that is precisely why we must keep swimming, must stay committed to unlearning prejudice and learning to practice solidarity. History is never just a single story, but a multitude of narratives, the same way our identities are made of more than just a single narrative. We must practice to listen to the voices sharing their stories around us, must learn how to hold place for those who are overheard in order to tell all of our stories together. Only if we keep weaving together the many threads of our narratives, can we tell a different story. One, that is not about heroes and villains but about the beauty of multitude and the art of healing together.
peacecamp – now more than ever.
the peacecamp workshop
Peacecamp is built around pedagogical-therapeutic workshops, in which the young participants are challenged to deal with their own as well as ‘foreign’ histories, religions and cultures before subsequently getting to know and discussing political reality(ies) and narratives and looking for a way to contribute to creating a more peaceful world for everyone.
history
Peacecamp was founded by Viennese psychotherapist and psychoanalyst Evelyn Böhmer-Laufer.
There have been 17 peacecamps so far, running annually from 2004 until 2019. Since the 6th peacecamp in 2008, they have been documented by Gerald Muthsam in the form of a short film that is shown at the end of each event and at the Jewish Film Festival.
In 2022, the project was taken over by Lia, Lukas & AnnPhie as part of the 4peace organisation.

Dear peacecampers of all years,![]()

Last November should have been the date of our annual conference of the ambassadors of peace, hosted by the participants of 2023. The attacks of October 7th had put a halt to our everyday lives, especially those of you who live in Israel and have since had to endure the pain of war, of losing loved ones or constantly fearing for their lives, of witnessing or being called to serve in ongoing fights, of fearing exclusion or repression, of depending completely on the decisions of your leaders, of feeling misunderstood, judged unfairly or even forgotten by the rest of the world. Needless to say, we could not hold our conference the way we initially planned, nor can we do it now, at least not the way we intended.![]()

We have been in contact with many of you, but with many, we haven't. But we want to and we will host our Ambassadors of Peace Conference, open to all peacecampers throughout the years, just with a different focus.![]()

The atrocities that occurred on October 7th and since in Israel and Gaza, along with the rise of antisemitic and racist attacks in Europe and around the world and the flood of misinformation, trolling, and the overall spread of hate, have made talking about peace much harder—yet so much more important.![]()

We want to offer a two-day platform to come together and discuss the possibilities of a peaceful future, as well as the hardships of the present. We have adjusted the topics of our conference to better reflect and acknowledge the current situation.![]()

Additionally, we want to use this meeting to talk with you and brainstorm about the future of our project. We would appreciate it if you considered contributing to the questions on the slides (in the form of short videos, songs, speeches, or texts) and sent them to us. Even if you have nothing prepared, you may still join if you have participated in a peacecamp by 4peace from 2004 to 2023.![]()
