Our Values and Your Contribution
Social Impact
We host trainings and retreats that strive to have a positive impact on local communities and beyond. The revenue from our activities benefits the local people and supports the social work of Temi Community and the peace work of Corridors.
Community
We aim to nurture meaningful connections between people with diverse backgrounds. The camp offers unique opportunities for co-creating a community striving for social impact and peace that extends beyond geographical boundaries.
Sustainability
We build and operate the camp with a focus on low-environmental impact and a deep connection with nature. For this, we firstly promote biodiversity and ecological agriculture on the camps lands. Secondly, we offer you fresh and locally-sourced food and delicious organic wines.
Inclusivity
We develop and run the camp together with people with special needs and rural youth and women. Through the close cooperation with Temi community, the camp supports the social and economic inclusion of disadvantaged groups in rural communities.

ABOUT US
A unique place and an example of meaningful co-creation.
An Incubator for Social Impact
Join us in co-creating a place where diverse individuals come together to learn, connect, and act for a more peaceful future for the Caucasus and beyond. This is the vision of the Peace Camp Gremi, a unique initiative by Corridors in cooperation with the Temi community.
The camp is a collaborative project in which people with special needs and rural youth and women are meaningfully included. In a variety of workshops, young people acquire manual skills and knowledge about sustainable agriculture, while at the same time contributing to the construction of the camp. In parallel, people with special needs are involved in setting up and running the camp. In this way, the Peace Camp Gremi contributes to the better social and economic integration of vulnerable groups in rural areas.
