About East-West Passages: '

Ostwestpassagen' is a private foundation run on a voluntary basis. It contributes to the dialog between cultures and focuses its work on a peace-promoting discourse between Orient and Occident. In keeping with the name of the foundation, events are held that highlight the diverse and multi-layered connections between the cultures and promote mutual understanding. The 'East-West Passages' open up access to sometimes unknown worlds and encourage an exchange about different, sometimes conflicting or shared interpretations of foreign cultures. The initiators strive for a differentiated perception beyond idealization and devaluation. The Ostwestpassagen cultural initiative was launched at the beginning of 2015 and its work was transferred to a foundation in 2022. The foundation's work is always carried out in cooperation with other institutions and individuals.
