ÜberMorgen
What kind of society do we want to be?
Freedom, Security, Solidarity: What comes first?
We are living in a free and safe society, in a well-functioning social state and in one of the most prosperous countries of the world. These achievements cannot be taken for granted- they need to be cared for and defended.
In which direction will our society develop when the need for security becomes stronger than the need for freedom? When parts of society stop perceiving themselves as a part of the whole. When solidarity is only applied to specific groups. What is the role of responsibility in this –towards ourselves and others?
Each event consists of two formats: the “Discourse at the table” and “Addressing controversies on stage”.
