Who we are

The Civil Society Association was founded in 1996. It brings together important exponents from politics, business, science and culture to initiate a joint discourse within society. The association has set itself the goal of finding answers to everyday, politically independent questions and challenges.

The association wants to promote a civil culture of conflict and thus contribute to a peaceful resolution of social conflicts: listening to what others say, being open to debates and having the courage to come up with unconventional ideas - this is the guiding principle the association wants to follow.

Thank you very much for your visit!
