About OCCURSO
OCCURSO is an institute that fulfils its tasks in research, education and the promotion of interreligious and intercultural encounters in cooperation with partners. The institute is legally structured as an association (e.V.) and managed by a board of directors. The Advisory Board is a body of experts that advises the Institute in its work. Partners work together with the Institute on an ongoing basis or for specific projects and can also be members.
Spirituality and the life of faith have their place at OCCURSO. Partners, committed individuals and course participants bring their faith or their secular attitude to the encounter between religions and cultures. OCCURSO offers space for this and also endeavours to create a fruitful interplay between different theological currents and theoretical approaches in its research. This co-operation is promoted by the contribution of the ideologically neutral study of religion.
