Manifesto Homeland Earth

For Planetary Thinking and Feeling, Planning and Acting

This manifesto is the centrepiece of the campaign "Homeland Earth | Terre Patrie". It is inspired by the book of the same name by the great French sociologist and philosopher Edgar Morin, who will celebrate his 100th birthday on 8 July 2021 and to whom crucial insights of this text are owed (Morin/Kern 1999). It is a proposal that is to be continuously discussed, enriched and improved as a "work in progress" during the 2021 campaign by all interested parties.

"Homeland Earth" does not merely mean the statement of an existing fact, but also the definition of a necessary goal: It is a matter of changing the existing unjust world order through diverse acts of global solidarity in such a way that a new policy of living together can cope with the great challenges of humanity and organise a good, sustainable life for all - that therefore Homeland Earth is shaped in such a way that all people can actually feel at home.
