Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Palaver, as the former Head of the Research Platform “ World Order – Religion – Violence ” at the University of Innsbruck, was invited to carry out research at Stanford University (California, USA) where he met the billionaire Peter Thiel with whom he remains in contact to this day. He is very aware of the radical right tendencies in US politics and the manner in which Christianity is misused. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Palaver will set out how this undermines the core Christian message. He is an expert on the relationship between violence and religion. For many years, he has also been engaged in interreligious dialogue at both local and international levels. He is the president of the Austrian section of Pax Christi and he is a Personal Representative to the OSCE to fight against intolerance, racism and discrimination, including against Christians and Members of other religions.

Martin Schockenhoff from Wir Sind Kirche, Germany, is representing We Are Church at this year's forum. He is pictured with friends from past years.
"As a relevant spiritual formation project for young activists, the AYA/ATF places much emphasis on their religious identity amid the all-things-mixed global world.
