Together with Bündnis C we are organising a seminar and in-depth conversation about the future of Europe and our role as Christians in politics.

We believe the Christian principles of solidarity, peace, love, justice are at the foundation of our modern European society and of the European Union project. We believe that is sometimes forgotten by the political elites and the majorities in Europe and we wish to explore the areas where our voice could make a difference and remind people of this truth. Faced with multiple crises at the same time, we seek creative answers and solutions to help us navigate them.
