Panel
Which society and economy do we want to live in?
This session provides space for the progressive leaders and voices of the future to present their vision for how the world should look like and how we can get there.
Some of the key questions of this session will be: What should the primary goal of progressive leadership be in today’s world? Have the current generation of political leaders failed younger generations? What should the trade-off be between economic security and environmental sustainability? How can we tackle the vast inequalities that are holding our societies back?
