In what can I trust?
Whether we’re speaking about tolerance or democracy, political debate, good neighbourly relations – or even the existence of Antarctica – trust is the foundation of our shared lives.
Who can we trust – which people, which institutions? In the age of AI, can I trust a film or an image?
Are scientists and journalists trustworthy? And what about the everyday trust we need – to speak with one another, to make agreements, to delegate power, or to believe strangers?
Trust is essential. It should not be given lightly, and it must not be broken – for without trust, there is no community, no society.
What does trust require? When is it lost – and how can we build and strengthen it? We invite you to explore these questions with us at the Dachstein Dialoge 2026.
