IN/DIGNITY

In the organizer's words:

How can we understand the concept of human dignity in the context of flight, asylum and migration? Is it immutable, or is it constantly being reshaped and renegotiated? In our panel discussion, which involves the audience as an active part of the discourse, we want to discuss how human dignity is interpreted and challenged in legal, political, social and interpersonal terms.

Wars, climate catastrophes, famines, colonialism and annexations, among other things, are forcing millions of people to flee their homes. But what responsibility do we all bear - legally, politically and humanly - for each other? How do laws, political narratives and interpersonal encounters influence not only the lives of those affected, but also our shared obligation to protect dignity? And how can empathy and humanity serve as a basis for humane solutions?

A space for critical reflection and exchange that sheds light on both challenges and opportunities.

Participants include legal experts, social scientists and psychologists, political analysts and representatives of political institutions, activists and representatives of organizations/groups in the Munich area.
