Courses for adults
Globalisation and society
We live and work in an increasingly pluralistic society. Which intercultural skills are helpful in this context? And which conditions must be met so that peaceful coexistence with other religions can succeed? These topics and more besides are waiting for you to discover in our programme of courses on interfaith peace work.

Encounter trips
Mission 21 organises encounter trips to its partner churches and partner organisations. These trips give participants a vivid picture of Mission 21's development cooperation work. They offer insights into our project work and the relationships with our local partners that have developed during our long history. Stimulating encounters with people on the ground enrich this programme, which also enables participants to get to know a country's geographical and social diversity.
