International congress “Wert Urteile – Judging Values” from May 9 to 11 in Karlsruhe, Germany. Common values form the basis for a European identity and are the essential basis of modern democracy and constitutional states in Europe. But how do the Europeans deal with value conflicts? How do the Netherlands judge euthanasia or how does France judge the headscarf in the classroom? What is Portugal’s statement to abortion and how does Sweden stand to “honour killing”? The congress “Wert Urteile – Judging Values” opens a new perspective to the European value debate.
