It’s her-story goes back to the beginning of this century when Reinhild Traitler and Teny Pirri-Simonian, both Honorary Presidents, started the project in the Boldern Academy in cooperation with the World Council of Churches in Switzerland. An international team worked out the curriculum, and up to now four study courses have taken place. At the moment the participating countries are Austria, Bosnia Herzegovina, the Netherlands and Turkey. We are open to new partnering members.
