CPPD | European Network Meeting »Across Borders!«

CPPD European Network Meeting »Across Borders!«
13 – 14 November 2025 | Zurich

This year’s gathering is held under the motto: Across Borders! Together, we want to explore the following questions: How can we create spaces in which global entanglements become visible—while local action remains possible? What do we need in order to remain capable of taking action beyond geographical, institutional, as well as personal and positional boundaries? We do not want to start from scratch, but rather build on what already exists: The network meeting is intentionally designed to be open and dialogical, offering space for resonance, exchange, and collective reflection.

The  European Network Meeting will be held in collaboration with not_your_bubble. Further information are available here.

Future 500 | Retrospect: Summer Workshop “Has Dialogue Failed? Towards a New Concept of Interreligious Engagement”

Interreligious dialogue has built much of its legitimacy on an unexamined syllogism: that contact generates understanding, understanding generates trust, and trust eventually yields peace. This sequence is breaking down in practice. The Russian Orthodox Church’s theological framing of the war in Ukraine, the collapse of dialogue spaces following 7 October and the subsequent war in Gaza, and the rise of antisemitism and anti-Muslim racism across Europe have exposed how readily encounter can coexist with, or provide cover for, ongoing harm. Rafael Tyszblat of our partner organisation Connecting Actions stated: “Looking for common ground too soon is often a result of not being honest when it comes to power dynamics. Peace cannot be achieved through good intentions alone.” What is required is not a further format, but the willingness to interrogate whom a given space of encounter actually serves.
