Mednarodna konferenca podonavskih viteških redov
HONOR AND PEACE – ČAST IN MIR
International Conference of the Danubian Knightly Orders
HONOR AND PEACE
25. – 27. september 2026, Vila Bled, Slovenija
Dogodek “Konferenca monarhistov Podonavja” bo potekal pod pokroviteljstvom Njegove cesarske in kraljeve visokosti, nadvojvode Avstrije in princa Toskane, Sandorja Habsburg-Lothringena, ki bo konferenci dodal poseben simbolni in zgodovinski pečat.
The event “Conference of Danube Monarchists” will be held under the patronage of His Imperial and Royal Highness, Archduke of Austria and Prince of Tuscany, Sandor Habsburg-Lothringen, who will add a special symbolic and historical touch to the conference.
V času, ko Evropa in svet bolj kot kadarkoli potrebujeta mostove sodelovanja, spoštovanja in miru, bo Viteški red sv. Jurija s Koroške pod okriljem Viteške akademije na Bledu organiziral prvo mednarodno konferenco podonavskih viteških redov z naslovom Honor and Peace – Čast in mir.
Konferenca želi javnosti približati poslanstvo sodobnih viteških redov, ki s svojim delovanjem na področju socialnega vpliva, izobraževanja, dobrodelnosti ter ohranjanja kulturne dediščine pomembno prispevajo h kakovosti življenja v skupnostih. Viteški redovi danes združujejo ljudi različnih generacij in okolij ter gradijo prostor sodelovanja, solidarnosti in univerzalnih človeških vrednot.
Srečanje bo edinstvena priložnost za predstavitev pobud, programov in projektov, ki ustvarjajo pozitivni družbeni vpliv (impact) in spodbujajo vključevanje, medgeneracijsko sodelovanje ter kulturni dialog.
At a time when Europe and the world need bridges of cooperation, respect and peace more than ever, the Order of St. George of Carinthia, under the auspices of the Knights’ Academy in Bled, will organize the first international conference of the Danube knightly orders entitled Honor and Peace.
The conference aims to bring the public closer to the mission of modern knightly orders, which, through their work in the fields of social impact, education, charity and the preservation of cultural heritage, significantly contribute to the quality of life in communities. Today, knightly orders unite people of different generations and backgrounds and build a space of cooperation, solidarity and universal human values.
The meeting will be a unique opportunity to present initiatives, programs and projects that create a positive social impact and promote inclusion, intergenerational cooperation and cultural dialogue.
