IRD Activities
- Interreligious Trips
The trips are aimed at people who are interested in religious and socio-political issues and want to get acquainted with the relationship of religion and society through conversations with representatives of different faiths and religions, but also with civil society
- Connective and Open to All - Regardless of Creed and Religion - Room of Silence
The 'room of silence' is conceived as inter-religious meditation and ceremony space. It serves both individuals and groups for reflection and prayer. Here questions can be asked, solace can be sought and hopes can be raised that often get lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The space deliberately avoids religious symbolism and can be used by people of all faiths and religious groups, but also by people who are not members of a religious community.
