EIRENE is an international organization that cooperates with partners in the global South and the global North. National and international peace workers and volunteers work together in joint programs.

Peace service is a cross-border task which tackles causes and consequences of violence, demands social and global justice and seeks to overcome discrimination and misuse of power.

Being an international organization

Since its foundation EIRENE has been an international organization. Being international means more than just seeking for international collaborations and enabling international peace services. EIRENE’s principle of internationality challenges us over and over again to reflect and shape structures, relationships, as well as the distribution of decision-making power to the various locations of our activities.
