While wars, crises, and ongoing violence increasingly paralyse interreligious dialogue in Europe, Future 500 is strengthening its practice-oriented work.
In 2025, leaders from across Europe came together at our workshops in Vienna, Chemnitz, and Venice to consolidate cooperation through concrete projects and to assume responsibility for democratic culture, social cohesion, and an international cooperation that protects justice and plurality.
For 2026, Future 500 aims to further expand their impact: through stronger partnerships, new formats of exchange, and targeted support in places where civil society is particularly challenged. Our goal remains a Europe in which diversity is protected, dialogue is enabled, and democratic participation is a given.
