What is PILGRIM?

Under the motto "Living Consciously - Giving Future", PILGRIM links education for sustainable development with a religious-ethical-philosophical educational dimension. It focuses on a sustainable future by encouraging change and strengthening trust in the present. Through the "different" view of reality, motivation is to be created to change one's own actions in responsibility and respect for all living things. Spirituality is understood as the view and the attitude towards the world, the meaning of existence and all living things gained through taught, lived and reflected faith.
