GSoA offered its homepage for an internet service to network experiences in non-violent conflict interventions. On the www you find a long list of addresses and contacts and in this letter you will find a sheet looking for your information. We gladly update our page as soon as we get additional news in. For any suggestions concerning this page we are grateful. We hope to provide with this service a useful tool also for your work. Have a look at: http://www.gsoa.ch/ACT
