U-turn: 5 years later

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, UCSIA organised the U-turn webinar series. It featured Flemish thinkers exploring whether the pandemic could bring about a societal turnaround. Five years later, we draw up a review: which hopeful perspectives have become reality and which challenges remain?

We will delve into the major societal developments since the coronavirus pandemic, with themes such as loneliness, addiction, citizens' initiatives, and authoritarian leaders. Speakers include Koert Debeuf, Maarten Rabaey, Wouter Schepers, and Nele Vanderhulst.

More information will follow shortly.
