Current social problems often have a sense component on further consideration. From the climate crisis to loneliness: In the core, they touch who we are deep down and how we relate to each other and to the world. At the same time, the language of religious traditions and philosophy is no longer spoken. Can old sources be helpful, and what translation is needed? In the case of new initiatives, there sometimes seems to be a tension between the everyday and the higher debt ratio, which is worth clarifying.

The next few years are a lot at stake. The ecological crisis, social degradation and sensory problems appeal to civil society organisations and benevolent people to take action. In avital societyPeople feel at home, heard, recognized and appreciated. People who feel safe, secure and recognized are inclined to trust in acquaintances, strangers and institutions. They feel included in acommunity, and also want to work for society and the wider whole. Where do people meet around life questions? How can existing philosophical traditions, religious communities respond to current existential needs? What role do our monumental buildings play as places of significance and who are the moral leaders?
