Society

In workshops, panels, exhibitions and interventions, numerous formats are dedicated to the questions that move our society: How do we want to live together? How can inclusion succeed? What is needed for a European urban community? The numerous formats are equally open to discussion and participative, but also entertaining and experimental.
