Nora Bossong

Die Geschmeidigen

The supple

Moderation: Dr Martin Meyer

According to the subtitle ” Meine Generation und der neue Ernst des Lebens (My Generation and the New Seriousness of Life),” Nora Bossong takes a close look at her generation – at those who are about to assume power in Germany during a pronounced period of crisis. And she discusses ideas for a democratic future in which as many as possible are inspired by the ideal of collective action.
