Why it is important
Our society is branded by its historical legacy and its consequences for subsequent generations. Hence, it is of utmost importance to remember wars and conflicts so as to learn from our mistakes. We aim at establishing a social process through which problems and conflicts are going to be dealt with in a peaceful and fair way. It is important to discuss an issue, instead of degrading a potential opponent. The diversity within our community has to be considered as a successful, rich variety and not as a failure of simplemindedness in order to encourage different opinions to peacefully coexist and develop themselves next to each other.
