Description

The manifold changes in our society, particularly demographic changes, the energy revolution requirements, digitalisation, and changes in the working world all lead to challenges, but also development potential for social cohesion. Against the backdrop of the Covid crisis and the as yet unforeseeable consequences of the Ukraine crisis, it seems that the tendency towards social division is increasing. This makes the question about the current social cohesion even more urgent and what citizens and politicians can do to<br/> strengthen it.
