Schedule European Summer University 2022

In a radio play, scenes from a world in 2048 are presented in which capitalism has been overcome in favour of a solidary, ecological and peaceful society. Afterwards, two of the authors will discuss the feasibility of this utopia.

How will we live? Who will we be? What will the future bring? Will the common good influence our actions, will our actions be meaningful and will our life be a joyful one? The dream of a better future has inspired people for thousands of years. But also in the wrong direction. The fears of our time speak of the fact that humanity has taken the wrong turn at various crossroads over the last two centuries.
But fear alone is not a good motive to oppose these developments, it is not productive: A new principle of hope

We want to contrast the current lament with another scenario: The future was and is always a possibility, a change for the better. It is worth dreaming about, worth thinking about and even more worth fighting for. In our project, therefore, voices of different people tell of the year 2048; of a world after system change - with more time sovereignty, community, solidarity, self-determination, health and democracy. And with less wage labour, competition, environmental damage, violence and war.

In the form of a collage, the first-person narrators use many voices to report about their everyday lives, their views of life in 2048 - and of course also compare it again and again to the "before" - meaning today.
