The Politics of Poverty and Hope

Giovedì 8 agosto, alle ore 14.00, avrà luogo online la prima delle Open Conversations Lectures dal titolo "The Politics of Poverty and Hope". Relatore sarà Dan Banik.

L'evento è organizzato da Circle U. - European University Alliance di cui l'Università di Pisa è partner.

This Circle U. Conversation will explore the interconnectedness of major global challenges and the need for a collective, optimistic mindset to drive meaningful change. In doing so, it will underscore the importance of cultivating optimism among the world’s youth. The interconnected nature of climate change and poverty reduction will be a focal point, with insights into how addressing one challenge can positively influence the other. Being the torchbearers of the future, younger generations play a pivotal role in shaping policies and driving initiatives that promote sustainability and poverty reduction.
