Currently widely known as Africa Literature Centre for Art and Journalism Training and as Pan-African School for Journalism and Art, but closed in 1998 due to financial difficulties.

The Dag Hammarskjöld 'Messengers of Peace' Training Programme is run by the Foundation.  The objectives of this bi-annual two-week training programme are:

*To spread information and knowledge of conflict resolution at different levels of society in Africa and the world;
*To promote a culture of peaceful conflict resolution among people.

In addition to this two-week training programme, the Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation (MEF), which executes the programme, offers a three-month Peace Certificate covering conflict analysis, conflict resolution, human rights, training of trainers, mediation skills, restorative justice and non-violent strategies. A nine-month Peace Certificate in conflict resolution, peace-building, computer training and democracy is also offered.
