Heidelberg Institute at German-Georgian Conference

HI associate Lucas Wehner talks about strategic partnership
HEIDELBERG/ VIENNA. On November 24 and 25, the international conference “Education – whose responsibility is it? – Historic, Legal, and Ideological Perspectives” took place in the Steven’s Hall of the Archiocese Vienna. High-ranking church officials from the Georgian Orthodox Church, such as Metropolitan Daniel, and experts from Georgia’s science and diplomatic scene came to Vienna in order to discuss with German participants their paradigms of responsibility in education. It was the goal of the conference to find ways for Georgia’s politics and religion into a modern, multicultural and multi-religious Europe. The conference was marked by its ecumenical approach and interest in exchanging thoughts, for instance, this was demonstrated by speakers of various Christian confessions. In this regard, there was also a Catholic priest speaking.
