Iris Wirz c&p communications was gained as a sponsor back in January 2003. The agency supports the project because, among other things, it shows the direct effect of credible communication from person to person and contributes to a peaceful and committed community life.

The internet work group of the NBH centres worked out a concept for the construction and content of a website in 2003; they contacted us to help with the realisation. We suggested that they make use of the real need for a website as an opportunity to create a common communications concept which would take into account the decentralised structure of the NBH centres.

Within five months we carried out interviews, surveys and two workshops with representatives of the NBH centres, in which the strategy, structure and tools were defined together. One of several results was the founding of a joint interest group for publicity work and internet.

We attribute the positive comments from the sponsors to the fact that:

	The NBH centres’ purpose and services are convincing
	The aims in their communications are evident
	The structure is adapted to these aims
	The contacts made by the project leader, Christian Guler, are convincing because he and the NBH centres carry the weight of the project rationally and emotionally
