Questions to whom it may concern in the Galtung-Institute.

Is the institute still active?

Will you provide a certificate for the participants of the Master Class „The Art of Peace“ that finished earlier this year?

Do you honor book orders that were fully paid in February and still awaiting delivery?

  Hello Jurgen,
  Receive my best wishes for your happiness.
  How are things going in the belly of the declining Beast of Empire?
  That’s a good question about the certificate. Today these documents are similar to noble titles….
  They are certainly important. But when the ship is sinking I wonder what really is important.
  I was thinking of opening a…[Weiterlesen]

    Hi Eugenio
    Great to read from you.
    
    I am trying to get a / any response from the Galtung Institute as it seems disintegrated after our class. Maybe the “war in Europe” shifted their priorities as the former “super predator” is preoccupied with their internal political-economical-social circus.
    
    I paid for books that I never received and I know so…[Weiterlesen]

      It is always good to dialogue with you. Thank you for your nice wishes.
      „Live your life in peace with yourself, your family, your neighbors and with nature“.
      May yours be a holistic positive peace too. The truth is hard, the absence of direct violence is not enough, it is elementary to transform conflicts. And we live in a planet with a…[Weiterlesen]

      Hi Eugenio
      
      You can reach Johan on Twitter https://twitter.com/johangaltung
      He is actually very responsive to direct messages (DM) and in threads.
      
      I would stick with this social medium.
      
      I was wondering if Malihe could „reload“ or WhatsApp group with her comments on Iran. Her view seemed to conflict with mainstream media reports.

  I am a bit surprised that the discussion about the fall of the Empire anticipated 10 years ago by JG has so little discussion in the IG. It’s as if the Titanic is about to sink and we musicians (the intellectuals) are still playing in the middle of the chaos. As if its uncontainable waters will never come. Is it perhaps a stoic reaction to the inevitable?

    What options did the musicians have on the Titanic?
    What options do citizens have in a sinking state?
    - Eugenio Mendoza antwortete vor 3 Jahren
      
      The Titanic was doomed to sink. Surely the musicians had nothing better to do than to continue playing until the end. To wait for the unavoidable. Of course, they could stop playing and try to save their lives. They knew they wouldn’t have a boat but there was always the alternative to stop playing and be creative. I now see that this is a bad…[Weiterlesen]

      I think that whatever we are, we have to be creative. Apply the tools available and fight for survival in the best possible way we can.
      It never stops amazing me how Johan Galtun has been able to develop his intuition to anticipate what happened to the Soviet Union and what is happening in the USA.It’s like seeing, in that metaphor of the…[Weiterlesen]

      I found this RT interview. Here Johan suggests in its last part some do´s as USA contradictions get harder. May be the life saver in the sinking state, may be (at least some do´s) for other sinking states as well.

In a fragile eco-system as Himalayan environment (Nepal), trying to develop a project of Sustainable Agriculture is a priority and a challenge. Might be Permaculture the response? Would be great to hear from the group…
Keeping in mind some crucial points: -after the 2015 earthquake, reconstruction is at a very slow pace so cheaper and…[Weiterlesen]
