Berlin Conference 2020: "The New Culture of Common Responsibilities"
With the Berlin Conference 2020 on 8 & 9 November, we offer an attempt to create a dialogue / co-creation platform of civil society and decision makers that together think about their respective role and added value to implement for real a Europe ‘bottom-up’. All ‘target groups’ turn into ‘actors’ in this process in a unique triangle of citizens, cities and Europe; how can the cooperation between these three levels be used and result into actions for Europe?
We are living in a time of individual and institutional threats to existence that we have not known for a long time. But that must also be a time of new and unusually radical reflections and directional decisions. This is a moment that urges us all to rethink relations we have taken for granted or accepted in a certain manner. We are challenged to take a decisive step: to advise and to propose mechanisms as well as a general openness to redefine our relations. To put it in other words, a New Culture of Common Responsibilities: We Europeans and our cities and regions are challenged to recognise and assume our responsibility for the European project through a Europe bottom-up approach.
