To: <[email protected]> Hi, climate change, migration and digitalization: these are the greatest challenges in the current phase of globalization. How can we meet them? In its 20th year, the Berliner Gazette, under the motto MORE WORLD, is highlighting communal practices that confront these planetary challenges. To this end, a special section in our Internet newspaper berlinergazette.de will be open for contributions from all over the world. Moreover, we will organize a series of events. The MORE WORLD project will culminate in the BG annual conference, which will take place at the Center for Arts and Urbanistics (ZK/U) on October 10-12, 2019. Learn more about it on the project’s website ( https://more-world.berlinergazette.de ) or continue reading further below.

Save the date! To tackle the key issues of the project, the BG will create a three-day program, including lectures, workshops and performances. More than 500 people in total are expected to attend the events. The workshops – arguably the heart of the conference – will bring together activists, researchers and cultural workers from more than 20 countries. The BG will invite key actors from the international scene to form the core of the workshops, and will issue a call for the general public to register.
