Daniel Görtz / Hanzi Freinacht - The Listening Society

Keynote with Q&A

The metamodern society of the future is a listening society; a society more sensitive to the inner dimensions of human beings. Drawing upon an elaborate weaving of psychology, sociology, political science and philosophy, Hanzi Freinacht will guide us with sincere irony through human developmental stages and towards political progress.

Don’t let yourself be fooled into a hyperindividualistic MEconomy, psychological development is not an individual matter, only. It’s not either or, it’s BOTH/AND – inner development and societal progress are working in tandem.

Touching upon questions of

How can we create better processes for personal development?

How can politics be adjusted to an increasingly complex world?

What is the unique role of humanity in the ecosystems of nature?

and with a glimpse into metamodern and Nordic ideology the sociologist Daniel Görtz (PhD from Lund University/SE) aka Hanzi Freinacht will open the transition journey and continue on stage for a Q&A and the panel discussion that follows his keynote.
