Our offers are EduQua certified.
Courses and workshops for groups
Global justice and inclusion
Global relations are characterized by fascinating diversity, but also by extreme injustice. Where does this come from? Where are the current hotspots? What solutions are there?
Peacebuilding and understanding
Encounters and mutual learning are the basis for peace processes and non-violence. The following courses sharpen a differentiated view of the usually multi-layered causes of conflict in different contexts and the role of religions in them. They show ways of promoting peace and strengthen skills for transcultural communication and interreligious dialog.
Mission and decolonization
Only those who face up to the history that has shaped our present can forge new paths into the future. We will take you on critical and illuminating forays into the developments of the 19th and 20th centuries, the history of the Basel Mission and the intertwining of mission and colonialism. And we invite you to an international exchange on the global issues of the future that arise from this.
Spirituality worldwide
An international learning community opens our eyes to other experiences and perspectives. Discussing spiritual questions through the lens of other cultural contexts can give us new impulses. Other, holistic world views and unfamiliar approaches to solutions become visible.
