Conferences

Every second year CIF International is holding an international conference to keep alive the common peacework goals. The history of these conferences goes back to1958, the second year after beginning of the program. Continuity and the high level of acceptance over several decades indicate the attraction of these events.

Generally the number of participants was ranging from 200 to 300. Besides current subjects the gathering with old friends, but also making new friends play a major role.

The last conference took place in Cleveland/Ohio, USA in July 2007. Like our conference in Germany in 2005 it was dedicated in particular to the 50th anniversary of CIP and CIF. A review of the conference 2005 and some photos can be found under Review of the Conference. A short report about the conference 2007 in USA can be found here and this is the way to the photos.

The conference in Kiljava/Finland is over. It was a great success. Here are the fotos:

CIF Posttour to Lappland.

CIF Finland is trying to get permission of the speakers to publish their concepts here on the net. As soon as these permissions are given, we will establish here the corresponding link.

Dagmar Demme has written a report about the conference and the trip to Lapland (unfortunately in German only).
You can have a look here......
Should there be more such reports they would be most welcome and will be published here.

Attached you can find a list of all conferences so far incl. year, country, title etc.
