Global Bildung Festival 21-22 March 2022

Cultural and political structures that have long held civilization in place are in upheaval. We are challenged by new technologies, global warming, mass-migration, wars, and more. We need to make sense of the transition that is taking place.

On equiox, when the day has the same length around the globe, join our global bildung tour with presentations about cultural heritage, tradition, education, art, religion, spirituality, and philosophy; all that makes us human.

Contribute to the conversations about what we can learn from this amazing richness of human creativity and meaning making, and how we can best bridge past, present, and future.

What does it mean to be human? All generations have struggled with this question. Ours is the first to face the question as we are changing the climate and inventing Artificial Intelligence.
