Being Young
Xifan Yang (journalist and author) in conversation with Biao Xiang (Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology) and others.
Panel Discussion
What is it like to be young in this world, in a time of crises, between wars, climate change, social polarization and the aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic? What worries do young people share? What hopes do they have? How do they see the future? What can older generations do to secure their future? How can we think, speak and act together? In a workshop, young people aged 16 to 25 from Germany and China develop a language for their experiences, fears and hopes, and outline perspectives for a shared future. The subsequent public discussion brings together voices from practice and theory and invites the audience to listen, reflect and take part.
