(Re)construction | Opening and guide through the online conference

Perspectives on the world from the point of view of aid

Opening with:
Anne Blum (Chairwoman, medico international, Frankfurt)
Anne Jung (Head of Communication, medico international, Frankfurt)

"The (re-)construction of the world" deals with aid in so far as it opens up particularly powerful experiences and thus a deeper understanding of its present state. Haiti and Moria serve as examples to illustrate how our world is actually constituted today and what it could become tomorrow. These two islands are "hot spots" of present and future world history.

The (Re)Construction of the World. Aid. Solidarity. Politics.A conference not only on the miserable state of the world, but also and above all on the possibilities of its reconstruction into a place that will finally be worth inhabiting. In lectures and forums, the aim is to determine the relationship between aid, solidarity and politics from the promise we made to ourselves in the Declaration of Human Rights: The promise of a global and social order in which the rights granted to us all would be fully realized.

V. in cooperation with the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Goethe Universität Frankfurt, Institut für Sozialforschung Frankfurt, International Institute of Political Murder and Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung.
