The world is in turmoil. Now is the time to set a sign against division and for a collaboration in diversity. The pressing global challenges we face – such as climate protection, the corona pandemic or discrimination – can only be solved together.

This is why Hans Küng launched the Weltethos project 30 years ago. It focuses on simple values that are already shared worldwide in order to enable peaceful community and cohabitation on our planet. We are certain that the Weltethos project has never been more important than today. Join us now and set a sign against social division.

We are certain that the Global Ethic Project has never been more important than today. Become part of the project now and set a sign with us against social division.
