Strong plea for democracy and defence
Our CEO Astrid Kuhn represents SW&D at the German Foundation Day 2025 #DST25 in Wiesbaden - the largest meeting of the foundation sector in Germany.
The motto of this year's congress is #Mmake courageous - A call that could hardly be more topical.
Right at the opening, former Federal President Joachim Gauck a remarkable sign. In his keynote speech - deliberately off the manuscript in several places - he spoke out in favour of "more defence" and a new home for soldiers.
He makes a strong statement in favour of peace and democracy by speaking out in favour of defence in democracy - in the space of freedom.
As SW&D, we are delighted to be part of this important dialogue and will contribute our perspective as a foundation to the discussions on these two days.
