Paulus Akademie

Follow organizer

The Paulus Academy is a forum for religion, ethics, society, politics and culture. It offers a place for dialogue and reflection and puts questions of our time up for discussion - in a differentiated, interdisciplinary and critical way. The events of the Paulus Akademie are aimed at a broad audience, regardless of denominational or ideological position.

At Pfingstweidstrasse 28, in the middle of Zurich West, the Paulus Akademie opened its new event centre in 2020. Encounter forms the core of the centre. The centre is open to private individuals and institutions for educational, informational and cultural events. The basis of these encounters is a culture of hospitality and openness towards individuals and groups from different social backgrounds. Intercultural, interreligious and intergenerational dialogue are just as much a part of this as respect and appreciation for all guests.
