Video: Trying Times 2019 – Opening Film

Globalization, digitalization and demographic change are shaping societies around the world today. What does the impact of these megatrends mean for social cohesion? What are the challenges and opportunities associated with the changes these dynamics bring? Our opening film for the 2019 Trying Times Conference takes a closer look at the world we live in today and invites us to rethink the future of social cohesion.

The “Trying Times – Rethinking Social Cohesion” conference took place in Berlin, September 4-6, 2019. A roundtable discussion was followed up by a production conference which, over the next day and a half, provided countless opportunities for intensive debate and networking through interactive formats that were supported by digital instruments.

Globalization, digitalization and demographic change are shaping how we get along in communities and societies around the world today. At the international Trying Times conference, some 80 thought leaders from 22 countries discussed the future of social cohesion.

The film was shown at the start of the Production Conference on September 5, 2019 in Berlin.
