Past

On the ground floor of the House of Responsibility, we deal with the events of the past. The motto is to learn not only about, but also from the past.

Present

Awareness – that is what the first floor is all about. Only this moment is what we can influence. If we live it conciously, we can act.

WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!

OUR CONCEPT

On the ground floor of the House of Responsibility, we deal with the events of the past. The motto is to learn not only about, but also from the past. Often we think about history and can not explain how the events of the past were able to unfold the way they did. It should serve us as constant reminder, make us learn more about the context of the times an bring us a little closer to how people act and think. In the course of this process we also get one step closer to ourselves.

Awareness – that is what the first floor is all about. Only this moment is what we can influence. If we live it conciously, we can act. With this awareness we can work now on a society that embraces all kinds of different cultural values and allows a flourishing coexistance. In the project we the emphasize on all the thigns we have in common – in stark contrast to the daily input of todays media consumer.

Already Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (author of “The Little Prince”) said: “Your task is not to foresee the future, but to enable it.” This motivation determines the second floor. In a society with vanishing interest in religion its often not anymore the different faith that worries people, but an unknown culture and way of life that comes with migrants. Uncertainty brings fear and ignorance and causes prejudices. The most important tool against this uncertainty is the reduction of distance between two people with seemingly very different values.

WHAT OUR SUPPORTERS SAY

Lieber Herr Maislinger, ja, dürfen Sie gerne. Auch unter dem Hinweis, dass ein Haus der Verantwortung aus buddhistischer Sicht immer zu befürworten ist, um die Umsetzung von Eigenverantwortung zu fördern. Gerade im buddhistischen Kontext hat die Eigenverantwortung einen sehr hohen Stellenwert. Sie soll uns daran erinnern, dass immer wir selbst es sind, die Verantwortung tragen. Das einfache Delegieren von Verantwortung wird leicht zur Wurzel großen Übels! Viel Erfolg und herzliche Grüße Gerhard Weißgrab

[…] This is a unique opportunity for Austria to demonstrate its awareness of historical and continuing abuses against Roma and provide a space for those dedicated to Roma rights to do their work. We understand that the people of Braunau do not want to be associated with Hitler’s legacy, and we share this project’s vision for transforming what is now an uncomfortable reminder of the past into an active monument for peace, tolerance and intercultural dialogue.

Eine hervorragende Initiative, hut ab! Zwei Ideen: Ein De-Radikalisierungs-Institut für rechtsextremistische BürgerInnen könnte dort entstehen, oder ein Institut gegen Antisemitismus und Islamfeindlichkeit in Österreich. Liebe Grüße und viel Erfolg für diese tolle Idee/Initiative Ihr Ramazan Demir

[…] eine sehr wichtige Initiative. Dieser Ort kann sehr wohl zu einem Zentrum der Auseindersetzung mit der Person AH und den verheerenden Auswirkungen werden.Gedenkstätten wie diese sind wichtig um auf die Irrungen der Menschheit aufmerksam zu machen. […] Wünsche Ihnen viel Erfolg und halten Sie mich bitte mit Ihren Aktivitäten auf dem Laufenden!
