Webinar series "Global Voices - Acting Together for Peace"
Our new webinar series "Global Voices - Acting Together for Peace" ties in thematically with the International Forum 2025 entitled «Peace on Earth. Peace with the Earth». We are asking for a respectful and sustainable relationship with the earth and its elements. We want to confront the alienation between humans and nature and find common paths for peace, justice and sustainability. The series comprises three coordinated webinars that complement each other thematically, but can also be attended independently of each other.
