IRENE

Irene is run by Jørgen Johansen and Majken Jul Sørensen, both of us academics and nonviolent activists. We are based in Scandinavia in a small village called Nössemark, a few hours from both Gothenburg and Oslo. Most of our work is done in Europe, but we travel all over the world. We write and speak in Swedish, Norwegian,Danish and English... Irene works for peace by peaceful means through trainings, teaching, research, networking, book publishing and our Writers' Residence. We believe that people can create a better world without violence, but that this requires knowledge, skills and analysis.
