Countering Far-Right Narratives and the Responsibility of the Centre
English 60
The resurgence of the far-right presents a significant challenge to democratic values and social cohesion. The political centre plays a crucial role as it oscillates between combating and adopting far-right narratives. In a constructive debate, effective countermeasures and ways to defend our inclusive and democratic societies are to be found.  //INFO: The session will begin with the short film Wind (Robert Loebel, GER 2022, 3:49 min), offering an artistic perspective on the topic of discussion.
