This is our second episode of the WDCast on the topic Can we still be optimistic today?
In the second episode of the WDCast we explore the following theme: How can we design confidence, cultivate curiosity, and strengthen courage for the future – and how do we bring people along on this journey?
Georg-Christof Bertsch discusses these questions with curiosity researcher Carl Naughton and Anne Bartens, who, with her WDC project Democracy Kiosks from Lust auf besser leben, creates spaces where people can engage in dialogue and experience democracy in everyday life. Together, they look for ideas, stories and impulses that inspire and encourage.
