"How we could live after Corona": Lecture on 9 November

For more than two years, the Corona pandemic has changed society and the lives of many. In the face of new crises, many are asking themselves how things will continue in the future. This is the topic of a lecture by Kassel professor Prof. Dr. Hans-Jürgen Burchardt, to which the Hessencampus Waldeck-Frankenberg invites you on 9 November at 7 pm in the Bürgerhaus Korbach. The registration deadline is 2 November.

After the Corona pandemic, the next challenges are already around the corner - namely solutions for climate change, economic stability, agriculture, energy supply, safeguarding the common good and a new distribution of the burdens of the crisis. Prof. Dr. Hans-Jürgen Burchardt, who teaches in the Department of International Relations at the University of Kassel, writes in his book "The Pandemic Manifesto" that there are two ways to meet the challenges.

One exaggerates the pre-pandemic state as a positive normality and turns the wheel back. Because normality was the problem. The other way draws lessons from the pandemic and begins to rewrite coexistence: Reducing inequality without egalitarianism, establishing a free and meritocratic society, strengthening the common good through an honest community, creating opportunities for the Corona generation, making democracy systemically relevant, becoming a future-proof society with sustainable management, tackling the agricultural turnaround and preventing the next pandemic - and becoming happy with temporal prosperity and delightfully defying climate change. The manifesto illuminates this path.

Interested parties are cordially invited to attend the free event. Please register by 2 November 2022 by email to svenja.lotze@lkwafkb.de. Further information is also available online at www.hessencampus-waldeck-frankenberg.de.
