Our new webinar series "Global Voices - Acting Together for Peace" develops the theme of the previous "Forum for interreligious and transcultural peacebuilding" more. Speakers from Forum 2025 with the topic "Peace on Earth. Peace with the Earth" will delve deeper into aspects of this topic in the 2026 webinars, each with another expert.
The first four webinars will focus on the question of a respectful and sustainable relationship with the elements of the earth. We want to confront the alienation between humans and nature and find common ground for peace, justice and sustainability.
Here you will find reviews of past events. Numerous events are also available as full-length video recordings and can be watched free of charge.
In particular, you will find the sessions of the webinar series "Mission - Colonialism Revisited", which provide critical and transparent insights into the intertwined history of mission and colonialism.
If you have any questions or suggestions, we look forward to hearing from you.
