The Land Beyond is about a creative idea, land, time, kairos, a spirit, an attitude. It means the land beyond the mountains (the Zagori mountains) in Epirus, a land of generosity, exaltation, inspiration, learning. “Beyond” (epekeina, επέκεινα) is the prerequisite or even the unknown, something broader than knowledge or experience, that we are always about to conquer. Certainties divide people, diversity unites them.

We are interested in: (1) liberty & open society, (2) civil society & volunteering (3) federalism & one world. Ecumenical values, mutual understanding, pluralism, freedom, participation, conflict prevention and resolution, peace, biodiversity.
