The adventures of the princes of Serendip
Everything, whether ideas, things or objects, migrates from one country to another, where the foreign then becomes our own; nothing that is ours really comes from here.

Reformation – Counter-Reformation The uprisings of the peasants and the squires and their cruel end
The historian Wolfgang Maderthaner will focus on the context between the religious wars of history and the conflicts and traumas of the present.

Opening

Tolerance in a new world order
Michael Ignatieff, former rector of the Central European University, author of philosophical and biographical bestsellers and committed Canadian politician, formulates a fiery appeal for tolerance in times of war and polarisation.

History for peace
“For Peace and Understanding: Teaching and Learning History” is a project of The Seagull Foundation for the Arts, a network of educators and members of civil society.

A new Enlightenment?
There are repeated calls for a new Enlightenment. Does that make sense? Yes, says Philipp Blom, historian and director of Dachstein Dialoge, it is more necessary and more relevant than ever.
