The Future 500 programme brings together Europe’s most promising talents from politics, business, academia, the arts and civil society. Future 500 develops concrete socio-political initiatives through international interreligious-worldview and intercultural dialogue, implementing these within European civil society.

Through its work, Future 500 sustainably strengthens social cohesion across Europe by promoting intercultural and interreligious-worldview dialogue, developing innovative approaches to counter social polarisation, and building long-term partnerships between politics, business, academia, and civil society. Based on best practices, collaborative research initiatives, and targeted public advocacy programmes, sustainable strategies for social integration, political stability, and democratic resilience are created.

The programme is part of DialoguePerspectives e.V., a Berlin based independent European platform for strengthening plurality and democracy in Europe through educational and civil society programmes. DialoguePerspectives develops impact-oriented civil society programmes to promote resilience in European society. Its work focuses on interreligious-worldview dialogue, combatting antisemitism in Europe, developing and establishing a pluralistic European culture of remembrance, and communicating Jewish life in Germany through nationwide educational programmes.
