Jan Oberg TFF director June 11, 2026 A couple of months ago, I was invited to join the new Arete Youth Academy, AYA, as an advisor. I felt happy and honoured and immediately said yes, not least because the late Dr Daisaku Ikeda of Soka Gakkai International, SGI, in Japan has been a major source of inspiration for the Academy. […]

Jan Oberg, TFF director April 16, 2026 These Peace Pulses will only be published here a few times. You will also not find them on YouTube and Vimeo because both platforms have blocked TFF and me; you know, peace is dangerous these days. Later, you will find them, along with many other TFF-created videos, on […]
