People and Nation in the Sense of the Project

The terms “people” and “nation” carry a heavy historical burden. They have fostered community but also exclusion. They have provided identity but also fueled conflicts. The project takes this ambivalence seriously and responds with an open, human-friendly understanding.

A “people” in the sense of the project is not a biological unit but a living community of individuals connected through language, culture, history, or fate. This connection is not a boundary but a resonance space. A nation is here not a place of exclusion but a space for responsibility.

The project acknowledges the human need for belonging, for homeland, for cultural embedding. But it rejects any form of elevation or demarcation. Identity is not strengthened by devaluing others. Rather, it thrives through dialogue, exchange, and hospitality.

A nation in the spirit of the project is an open house. It has a history but no walls. It has a language but no prohibitions on speaking. It has values but does not judge people by their origin. The people are not bound by blood or soil but by what humans create together in interaction.

The project envisions belonging not as possession but as relationship. Not as exclusion but as an invitation to participate. Those who feel connected to a country, a language, or a culture and take responsibility for shaping them are part of this people. Thus, identity is thought of inclusively, not exclusively.

People and nation can, in the sense of the project, be places of common good—if they do not elevate themselves over others but shine from within. Not through power, but through humanity.
