As a Bremen foundation for peace the schwelle fosters activities for justice and peace in the region Bremen and cooperates with other organizations in Germany.

Between the association gewaltfrei handeln and the the schwelle Foundation there has been a close cooperation for many year years. By youth of the world students of Cameroon and Bremen organize a yearly exchange. For two weeks pupils from Bremen go to Cameroon and for two weeks pupils from Cameroon come to Bremen. In "From the Files to the Stage", history students from Bremen research historical events, and the files are made accessible to a wide audience by the Bremen Shakespeare Company in a staged reading.
