Bavaria Needs You
Charter 22 promotes inclusion, participation, respect and understanding between people based on mutual values beyond all political ideologies, religions, cultures, and economic interests. We firmly believe that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Each of us is unique, equally valuable, important. We are all different, nevertheless, we all belong naturally to. Democracy needs inclusion.
Each of us should be able to participate in social life no matter where we come from and what our personal story is. We all have the right to live freely, dignified, and self-determined as well as to participate actively in social life enjoying equal opportunities without any discrimination. Knowledge is power. The great goal of knowledge, however, is action. Every person is an architect of the future.

What values hold us together
The quality of our coexistence depends on whether we can give and experience mutual respect, recognition, and appreciation as well as whether we are prepared to take joint responsibility for our society. The Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany reflects a certain consensus of values, even if the term “value” is not used but norms are laid down. Norms are guides to action derived from values. The values behind the norms of the Basic Law are of fundamental importance for your own life in Germany, for social coexistence, for the legitimacy of the state order. The values are the “software of the mind” or the basis that influence and determine our actions. Our values determine our attitudes. Our attitudes lead to the corresponding actions.
