Conflict resolution
By learning conflict resolution we will acquire an understanding of the causes and typical stages of a conflict and knowledge about how to act in a situation of conflict. It will help us deal with conflicts in a constructive way and to avoid locked positions, confrontations and fear of conflict.
The predominant values of a society will become freedom of choice, self-esteem, a sense for perspectives and more just and equal
relationships where individuals have skills in conflict resolution.
The project members have special knowledge of conflict resolution and their main task is to teach it in schools, places of work and to
everyone who is interested.

Periodical
The mission of Outpost is to keep the association up to date with democracy- and peace issues. E.g. members can consult Outpost about the opinions of the parties in the questions we are dealing with..
The periodical “Samtiden” (our age) was launched as early as 1989 and was published four times a year.
Outpost produces the magazine distributed to our members. The best articles are gathered a few times a year and are distributed to the public in order to recruit new members.
If you are a jounalist or interested in being a part of the production of our magazine please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

Develope the democracy
The word democracy comes from the greek and means "rule by the people". Today we say that democracy is a form of government by the will of the people. Many people however, do not feel that their will has any say in today's democratic society. Many think that democracy is the same thing as voting. Democracy has got degraded to become decisions by the majority, or voting for a party that gets the power. The little man has lost its say.
Democracy is still in its development and we would like it to improve. Our project is to have a forum where everyone can meet and discuss
their opinions and experiences freely to form an ideal society, a society without violance.
The ideas can then become a part of tomorrow's democracy. An idea can e.g. be that every individual shall have not only the right but also
obligation to take part in ruling his/her society. Another idea can be that the schools not only teach the core subjects but also solidarity and matters of life.
Come and join as and share your ideas too!

Miniority Action
We would like to improve todays democracy and build the ideal society. But what about now during the time we don't have that, what do we do for the vulnerable minorities discriminated in todays majority ruling? The young, elderly and foreigners are discriminated in the labour market. Certain group of people cannot affect the society as well as others. Youth under age of 18 cannot participate in elections, and foreigners with permanent residency cannot vote to choose a government.
The projects idea is to be on the weak's side and to struggle with all means for a more fair society. What we can do is to form networks of people who can help, e.g. of company owners who wants to help the discriminated groups to find a job, journalists who wants to emphesize issues important for minorities, unemployed individuals who wants to meet others in the same situation and start companies with. Simply a network of people connected all through the world who would like to break the trend.
To succeed, we need knowledge about our socity and about how popular movements have emerged in history. If you feel discriminated or want to help people who feel discriminated, you are welcome to join us with your commitment.

Perspectives project
We believe that when the knowledge and experiences of different groups meet, they arise a commitment to peace promoting operations. The aim of the project is to share our experiences and listen to those of others, based amongst other things on international conventions and
human rights and Swedish peace- and foreign policies.
Those of you who have a foreign background and have experienced situations of conflict are especially welcome. The idea is that the knowledge we mediate and experiences we share about e.g. human rights and peaceful resolution of conflicts shall be spread to countries where conflicts exist by e.g. publishing information through our website or on printed matters.

Democracy studies
The Democracy Studies Project offers experience-based education for youth aged 16 and up, teachers, youth counselors, and others that are interested in strengthening democratic involvement in Sweden , the EU and the world.
Since year 2002, approximately 600 people have participated in a democracy program at Stockholm 's Parliament (and other governmental offices). During these studies, we have seen how shared experiences between the participants generated new thoughts and insights into how they can become more active in social development.
