Our Organization

The Dream of the Good has been developed within the charitable organization Dream of the Good - in cooperation with The Peace Appeal Foundation as a creative global peace education.
The Dream of the Good is today a very large network of individuals. Our simple methodology is fourfold: stillness, peaceful touch, reflection and meditative movements as in qigong and yoga, work for all age groups, even for the youngest children in preschool.

Our network consists of individuals from different areas of activity who have joined together to assist in making peace and quiet a part of the curriculum in schools in Sweden and other countries.
All creeds are represented: educators, journalists, psychologists, medical doctors, physiotherapists, therapists, corporate leaders , artists, economists, writers, priests...

The Dream of the Good has been made possible by the voluntary efforts and contributions by a large number of committed individuals. A special thanks to Andrers Tengbom and his family for supporting our work over many years. We thank the artists and musicians who have contributed pictures aand musik to our project: Ingunn Wrights, Kersti Stiege, Lars-Petter Roos, Britt Friedman and Ahmet Tekbilek, David Green.
We also want to thank Jim and Charles Wine, Tore Wiman, Teamvideo, Hans Moberg, Johan Böhm, Peter Elmberg, Victor Mansfield and all the swedish youngstes who have helped us to create the Dream of the Good-films that can now be downloaded without cost from our website.
A special thanks to the Communication Bureau Soya, that has structured and created our new website, and to Websearch pro that is responsible for the programming and technical support.
Thank you also to all the teachers and principals in our network who daily are working to make our methodology for peace and quiet a part of the  school day.
