A large tree on monastry grounds under which we gathered for group work. It provided shade and respite from the hottest day of the year.

"Living together": Der Literatur-Nobelpreisträger Abdulrazak Gurnah spricht in Freiburg Der tansanisch-britische Literatur-Nobelpreisträger Abdulrazak Gurnah widmet sich in Freiburg der Frage, wie ein respektvolles Zusammenleben in pluralen Gesellschaften gelingen kann. Ein Porträt vorab...

"Living together" – damit dies keine schöne Utopie bleibt, sondern ein konkretes Projekt wird, gilt es, ein Credo zu befolgen, das Gurnah mit entwaffnender Lakonie so zusammenfasst: "to be human" - die @badische-zeitung.de berichtet über die Veranstaltung.
