Other: P - Opening event
The ESU starts on Wednesday with the opening event. In her speech, Birgit Mahnkopf will explore the question: "The world is changing - but where to? - What goals can be derived from this for the European social movements?". The lecture deals with the major crisis context, which is emerging as an ecological and economic crisis, as well as a crisis in our food, health and social systems, and which is being exacerbated by geopolitical conflicts. It addresses the common causes of these crises and tries to make clear that and why we are feeding on "tipping points" in human development at a frightening pace. The opening event will be rounded off with a cultural contribution under the motto: "Who we are - What we want". In a colorful sequence, the participating groups and topics will be presented in various artistic ways.
