Our theme for 2025 is 'The risk of living together'. Why is it a risk? Well, it's a risk because things can go wrong. When people work together, live together, conspire together, aspire together, conflicts can arise, misunderstandings can arise. The ego, of course, gets in on everything. And we know this at a personal level, at a communal level and at a global level. We are surrounded by the consequences of not preparing for the risk of living together today. And what does it mean to live together? It means that we accept each other's differences. We respect each other's different beliefs. At the same time, we are aware of each other's diversity, recognising each other's dignity and their right to hold their own point of view and to be aware of the common ground that we share and that common ground is the source of our strength to take the risk of actually living together.
