Dear audience, with the event Finding Peace. A Meditation with Paul Kohtes and Markus Stockhausen, the tenth phil.cologne came to a successful close on June 14. 2022. We thank all our guests on the stages for their impulses and deep reflections.

We thank our audience for their curiosity and willingness to open up to deeper discourse in confusing times. We were able to welcome about 9000 visitors during the festival week and we are happy,

that our program was so well received, especially by children and young people in the KLASSE DENKEN program. Our heartfelt thanks go to all the dedicated teachers who organized the visits of their classes.
Big thanks also go to all our partners and sponsors for their support and for making this unique festival possible.

phil.cologne 11 will take place from June 6 -13, 2023.

CLASS THOUGHTS

An opportunity to come together for discussion and create a space for presenting and exploring current discourses, thus highlighting the timeliness and relevance of philosophical topics. Philosophy provides action options for individual and social co-existence as well as for shaping our future. The topics are as fundamental as they are multidimensional, and are always explored in an age-appropriate manner.
The children and youth programme of the phil.cologne 2022 is presented in collaboration with the German Federal Agency for Civic Education/bpb.

INCLUSION

The phil.cologne has been actively promoting the participation of people with disabilities for several years. There are a wide variety of barriers that prevent people with disabilities from participating in cultural life in a normal way. To change this, the phil.cologne offers a number of barrier-free events every year.
