Woche der Religionen - interreligiöse Zugfahrt

Building bridges between cultures and deepening respect for people of other faiths is the goal of the Week of Religions, which will take place throughout Switzerland from 7 to 15 November 2026. In Graubünden, the activities are organised in cooperation with the Graubünden Forum of Religions and the Catholic Women's Federation. The Week of Religions will take place in Graubünden in 2026 under the motto Young Talent. The Week of Religions is aimed at all interested parties.

A highlight of the week is the interreligious train ride through the canton of Graubünden with interreligious dialogue on a special topic during the train ride. The various religious communities open their doors every year for this purpose. This year, accompanied by members of the Graubünden Forum of Religions, the trip goes to Ilanz Monastery. The mother house of the Dominican Sisters, founded in 1865, is facing major changes. How is the religious community dealing with the challenges of the future? The monastery property is being sold. What will follow? Even the monastery's own nursing home will be closed. What does the loss of the "home" trigger in people? We discuss this in the monastery with those affected and guests.

Registration requested by November 10 to: Office for Migration and the Worldwide Church, rita.gianelli@gr-ref.ch, 079 406 94 99
