Becoming peaceful at school and in society

"There is peace in every cemetery", said none other than our current German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the 2024 election campaign. In times of slipping rhetoric and exchanges of blows that have become the norm, it is becoming increasingly urgent to ask: How does peace even work, what conditions are needed for it and how can alternatives to the logic of war become reality?

These questions will be discussed by author, educator and trainer Prof. em. Dr. Heinz Klippert and author and social philosopher Wigbert Tocha. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for further discussion at a small reception.

The event is supported by the Peace Academy Rhineland-Palatinate, the attac regional group Mainz, the Episcopal Ordinariate, Education Department, Religious Education Department, the Wiesbaden Alliance against Missile Deployment, the Economy for the Common Good Hesse, Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate e.V., the Pax Christi Peace Policy Commission, the German Peace Society - United Opponents of War Service Education Center Hesse and the Peace Initiative Mainz.

On June 16 from 10:00 to 13:00 there will also be a student workshop at the Freie Waldorfschule Darmstadt, to which students from other schools are also cordially invited.
