What DialoguePerspectives. Discussing Religions and Worldviews e.V. does

DialoguePerspectives. Discussing Religions and Worldviews e.V. is a Berlin-registered nonprofit association (eingetragener Verein, e.V.) founded in 2021 that operates a platform of civil society programs dedicated to strengthening a pluralistic European society. Its core work covers interreligious and worldview dialogue, European antisemitism prevention, pluralistic European memory culture, and Jewish-life education in Germany. The organization runs a portfolio of interconnected programs: Future 500 (a network of 500+ young European leaders engaged in critical interreligious dialogue through workshops, microgrants, and the Global DialoguePerspectives podcast), EPNA (the European Practitioners Network against Antisemitism, unifying 100+ institutions across Europe and offering the CrossLines journalist-practitioner matchmaking platform), CPPD (the Coalition for Pluralistic Public Discourse, operating festivals, Dynamic Memory Labs, and the Erinnerungsfutur podcast), and Dagesh (a nationwide educational art program presenting contemporary Jewish art in Germany). Supporting offerings include the Henri-Vogel-Scholarship for trans academics, the Alexander Haus center development in Groß Glienicke (designed by David Chipperfield), and customized consulting and workshop services for ministries, administrations, and foundations seeking plurality-competence training. The organization reaches 700+ European cooperation partners across civil society.

The business model is grant-and-membership-based rather than commercial: primary funding flows from three German federal government sources — the Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the Minister of State for Culture — supplemented by individual membership fees, donations, and fee-based institutional consulting/workshop services in German and English. Distribution is event-driven and direct, relying on open application processes for program cohorts, direct institutional consulting sales to public-sector and foundation clients, and a content-marketing mix of multilingual website, podcast series, social media, and annual reviews. Operationally, the organization employs 11 staff at its Berlin headquarters under a board chaired by Prof. Dr. Frederek Musall, with three vice-chairpersons and executive leadership shared between Executive Director Johanna Korneli and Director Jo Frank. Staff costs follow the TVöD Bund public-sector pay scale, as evidenced by the July 2026 EPNA Projektreferent*in posting at E12. There is no equity ownership, no venture funding, and no API, SDK, or proprietary technology platform — the technical footprint consists of standard web integrations (Google Analytics, YouTube, Google Web Fonts, Google reCAPTCHA) supporting a WordPress-based site.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• International Council of Christians and Jews (ICCJ): European-headquartered network fostering Christian-Jewish dialogue and addressing antisemitism. Highly comparable in topic area (interreligious dialogue and antisemitism prevention) and in serving European civil-society constituencies.
• Anne Frank House (Anne Frank Stichting): European institution running education, exhibition, and remembrance programs on Jewish life, antisemitism, and pluralism. Highly comparable on the educational and memory-culture programs (especially CPPD and Dagesh), though anchored in a museum rather than a convening network.
• KAICIID (King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue): Intergovernmental center promoting interreligious and intercultural dialogue through programs, capacity building, and policy engagement. Closest direct peer to DialoguePerspectives, with comparable focus on dialogue methodology, government funding ties, and convening young leaders.
• European Council of Religious Leaders (ECRL) / Religions for Peace Europe: Regional interreligious body convening senior European religious leaders for dialogue, policy advocacy, and peacebuilding. Comparable in mission, European scope, and convening function, but operates at the senior-leadership level rather than young-leader cohort.

Emerging players

• Salamander Trust / European Network of Muslim Cultural Organisations (and similar European interfaith NGOs): European Muslim-led organizations engaging in interfaith dialogue, pluralism, and education. Adjacent peer — overlapping on Christian-Muslim-Jewish dialogue themes and European civil-society audiences, but typically more focused on a single faith constituency.

Regional players

• European Jewish Congress (EJC): Umbrella body representing European Jewish communities, working on antisemitism, Jewish life, and policy advocacy. Overlaps with DialoguePerspectives on Jewish life education and antisemitism prevention, but from a community-representation angle rather than dialogue platform.

Broad incumbents

• AJC (American Jewish Committee) – Berlin Office: Global Jewish advocacy organization with active European programs on antisemitism, Jewish life, and democratic resilience. Comparable on antisemitism-prevention and Jewish-cultural-education themes, especially via its Berlin-based Transatlantic Institute.
• Search for Common Ground: Global peacebuilding NGO working on interreligious tensions, conflict transformation, and inclusive narratives. Comparable mission and European footprint; broader methodology (mediation, media, policy) compared with DialoguePerspectives' dialogue-centric approach.
• Religions for Peace: Global multi-religious coalition with European constituencies, running interfaith dialogue, peacebuilding, and youth leadership programs. Directly comparable to DialoguePerspectives in mission and methodology, but operates at a much larger, multi-continental scale.
• Interfaith America: U.S.-based interfaith institute running dialogue, leadership, and campus programs with a focus on pluralism. Comparable in programmatic approach (especially on young-leader development), but primarily U.S.-focused and operates at larger scale.
