Since his youth, Bertrand Piccard has felt drawn to flying. He was the first person to circumnavigate the world in a balloon and later in a solar airplane. Even several failures did not stop him from starting over. With his training as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist, he wanted to find out how people behave in extreme situations. Today, the 65-year-old is primarily committed to climate protection.

That is our approach. We conduct social debates and profound conversations that entertain and inspire. Religion can be many things and it reaches deep into the middle of society. From Zen meditation to church abuse of power, from football fan cult to the gender debate: we approach the broad subject area of religion, faith and spirituality with critical distance. ____________________ Moderation: Olivia Röllin: / oliviaroellin Ahmad Milad Karimi: / donkarimi ____________________ Social Media Netiquette from SRF: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFKultur #SRFKulturSternstunden #SRFSternstunde #Religion #Abenteuer #Leben #Mut #SRF #Kultur
