United Nations and UNESCO have declared the first ten years of the new millennium a
 

Decade for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World

This is what made me put together this collection of stories. I have written those stories for children and young people, but they have something to offer for everyone, I hope. Some have been published in several earlier books, some appeared for the first time in "Der seltsame Krieg" (Beltz & Gelberg 2000), and some so far have been published only on this website. Reading stories onscreen is rather tedious, so after having a look at some of the texts you can
  

and print them. I hope that these stories will be used in schools, youth groups, church work and the like to talk with children about the issues of war and peace. Downloading, printing and copying the texts in this context is free. For commercial use an agreement with the author and the translator must be made.

There is also a

 

on this website where readers can communicate with the author and each other about the stories and general issues of a culture of peace. Many teachers already use these stories for work in class and some of the students works have been posted here. 

And this site still gives you the opportunity to sign the
  

Manifesto 2000

for a culture of peace and nonviolence.

The stories have been translated to Afrikaans by Santa Botha
