“An open and sensitive exchange on an equal footing
With philosophers Nora Schleich & Erik Eschmann

Together with people from different cultures, we want to explore the significance of intercultural coexistence from a philosophical perspective, using clearly formulated arguments and real-life examples.
On the one hand, participants get the chance to talk about the unique features, values and traditions of their own cultural background. On the other hand, they can share their experiences in the field of intercultural relations – whether these are particular insights, misunderstandings that have arisen or instances of discrimination they have encountered.
How can we have open conversations between different cultures? What should this conversation look like, and can being open to everything also have its limits?
Intercultural communication requires that we value cultural diversity for its own sake and are able to recognise our own culture as one among many. Mutual interest and understanding are essential.
Together, we want to explore how this openness can be achieved in practice and how it has perhaps been experienced by participants. However, we should also recognise that such openness has its limits. Anyone who categorically denies the validity of other cultures is removing themselves from the discourse and is therefore not entitled to the very openness they deny others.

Join us for a chat about philosophically inspired topics in a cosy atmosphere!
No prior knowledge is required.”
