The QfWf-Yearly Theme 2025 “Practices of World Citizenship”
Digital Meeting Space of the QfWf
Due to the funding of the QfWF-project “World Citizenship of the streat” in 2024 the Quest for Wisdom foundation is focussing her activities on a yearly theme. Every month an artistic, intercultural or philosophical contribution around the theme by authors and artists of the Quest-Circle will be published. The first three contributions are illustrated with colorful aquarelles of Greg Suffanti!
January: Mitra Muijen on Amor Fati: Interculturele therapie als antwoord op een maakbare gefragmenteerde wereld
February: Tycho Muijen on his work and love for trees: Trees of life als inspirerende rolmodellen voor wereldburgerschap
March: Nivedita Yohana on “Interconnectedness“, the underground power of trees as powerful metaphor for world citizenship!
The April contribution is made by philosopher Giovanni Rizzuto:
Filosofisch tegenspel: Traag denken in tijden van versnelling
In this contribution (from his recent book “Filosofisch Tegenspel”), that is illustrated with his own art work, the author presents a philosophical perspective as a response to the challenging times we are living in: with the zero-sum games reality of the neo-liberale market/society. In these contexts winning of some is at the cost of many others. As an alternative, the author explores a ‘counter-game’ on basis of an open mind and explorative attitude setting the stage for world citizenship.
