Social Rights, Inequality, Climate Change: What Kind of Society Should We Build for Tomorrow? 

A Conversation with Christine Mahy

Have we ever been so much at a crossroads, at a time when opening our eyes and making choices is no longer an option, but a necessity? Inequality, the concentration of wealth, and power dynamics lie at the heart of the major challenges of our time. They call into question our shared future—that of humanity and the planet—as well as the place we wish to give to solidarity as a fundamental value.

This conference invites us to take a clear-eyed look at these issues and the decisive choices before us. For the question is no longer simply whether change is necessary, but rather which direction we want to take and how we will equip ourselves to make it a reality.
