Addressing the Paradox: Demographic Trends vs. Migration Fears
English 150
Europe's population is ageing, labour markets are evolving and the demand for immigrant labour grows accordingly. Yet concerns and anxieties about migration persist. Join us as we navigate this paradox and examine how societies and governments can strike a balance between tackling demographic imperatives and addressing fears about immigration.//INFO: Bring hiking shoes and water. In case of heavy rain, the session is going to take place on the upper floor of the elementary school.

Climate Debate: State vs. Market – Finding Common Ground
German 90
The climate debate has become increasingly polarised. While global science agrees on the huge challenge ahead, politics doesn’t seem to agree on a way forward, thus delaying urgently needed policy decisions. One of the key questions is: Can “the market” fix this? Or do we need strong state intervention to prevent an impending climate catastrophe? Join this completely new, inspiring, provoking debate and see for yourself, whether the panelists can change the audience’s opinion. Yes, there are different value systems. Yes, there are different opinions and approaches. Let’s find common ground on a constructive way forward in climate matters for a climate neutral and economically thriving continent.
