Reinventing PeaceWadi

Release my inner Peace

I first arrived at PeaceWadi as a guest, spontaneously booked via AirBnB. The plan was to reside on the farm for a week. Soon I realized this farm had more to offer than simply a tourism venue. It is a gorgeous place to be, has a fantastic community and moreover is ran by an Not for Profit Organization: the PeaceWadi! I decided to stay longer to release my inner Peace on the farm.

Finding the core

Unraveling the core of PeaceWadi has been an exciting job. The community in and around the farm offers tourism opportunities, has all amenities a proper (date) farm should have and moreover enjoys the favors of an active network in- and outside Jordan! How to combine this versatile set of elements into one statement?

Mission: “To catalyze the exchange of understanding between cultures and generations, thereby fostering peace and development in broadest sense”

Please note the impact of historical events in the Jordan Valley, which is close to the border with Palestine. The impact can be felt every day when you talk with Jordanians – the desire to maintain understanding in any dialogue to get one step further with all of us.

Three Pillars of the Wadi

Sometimes things are obvious, yet they are not clearly defined. I supported the NGO in formulating their contribution to the Jordan Valley by chopping up the mission in three parts.

1. Hospitality & Ecotourism – sharing culture and dialogue on a personal level
2. Social Entrepreneurship – providing the community with development projects
3. Environment & Innovation – provide a platform to improve the future of Jordan
