Pro-Mosaik Manifesto

A book about the principles of ProMosaik for a colourful world of dialogue and mutual understanding.

The human being has the task of practicing tolerance in this mosaic-shaped world, which should not be transformed into a brown soup since diversity is the normal status of human existence. The alignment and forced assimilation of people are exactly the opposite of what is really human. The human dimension stands for radical diversity, innovative difference, healthy distance, constructive debate, well-thought-out tolerance and also for retreat in case people reach the limits of their tolerance. For ProMosaik, the focus on the equality of all people is essential. Regardless of skin colour, religion, culture, social origin, sexual orientation and state of health, every person has one and the same dignity he/she confirms by acting humanly, by respecting others and by complying with the principle following the golden rule of Hillel saying: What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn. Thus, in a world of diversity there is distance, the awareness of the limits of one's own tolerance, the practice of empathy, the insufficient understanding of the Thou, but never open discrimination, ideological racism and right-wing extremist and ethnocentric superiority thinking degenerating into the blind violence and elimination of political opponents. ProMosaik stands for the conscious emphasis on diversity on all levels. Our goal is to practice intercultural relationships on a daily basis to promote global interculturalism based on humanist cosmopolitanism. We are young, we are old, we are black, we are white, we are rich, and we are poor, we have a disability, we are healthy: we are the wonderful affirmation of diversity and inclusion, the living embodiment of the encounter around to share the joy of learning from each other. A book about the 25 principles of the Manifesto by ProMosaik.
