WELCOME WELCOME WORDS FROM THE HEAD ORGANISERS

Hii! We are excited to be working with you at the session and we hope that we can inspire you to help us and be a part of this experience. In this booklet we will explain our vision of the session and of the people we want within the session.

We live in a changed world, everyone can see that, but this time we won’t be focusing on the pandemic. As I think everyone is a bit tired of that, but also because it’s not the most vital change, although we don’t want to downplay its impact. It did however reveal that if we want to better the world, solve our problems and fix what is broken, we’ll have to work together. And the current global cooperation or the lack thereof is the reason something like this could get way out of hand. Change can be a good thing and change can be a bad thing. So it’s important that we can distinguish the two and be flexible and adapt to new situations, to embrace positive change and to fight back negative change. In this way we can shape society in whatever way we want.

Kasper and Céline
