STREIT & ZUVERSICHT

The debate format Streit & Zuversicht by ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS, Heimathafen Neukölln and Holtzbrinck Berlin is entering the next round. This time we're looking at the question: "Creating peace without weapons" ... gone forever? Let's debate!

At a time when geopolitical tensions, wars and military conflicts dominate world events and the news, we are discussing the pressing question: How do we take a clear stance on issues such as armament and Bundeswehr deployments?

"Creating peace without weapons" has long been a shining ideal in the hope of a world in which conflicts can be resolved purely through dialog and diplomacy. But in view of current global threats, such as the Russian war of aggression, this ideal seems almost unattainable. The event sheds light on the inner conflict that many of us feel. Do we have to say goodbye to the idea of a weapons-free peace for good?

Streit & Zuversicht invites you to be part of this exciting debate. Two opposing opinions meet here, presented and argued by debaters from the Berlin Debating Union. They will be supported by experts who are confronted with the consequences of security crises on a daily basis, as well as by academics from the fields of philosophy, sociology and law, who will help us to contextualize our moral and social responsibility in current events.
