This event is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Oikos Think Tank and with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation. This webinar will be in English. 

In this webinar, Dirk Holemans, Philsan Osman and Marie-Monique Franssen will discuss their recently published essay ‘Voor wie willen we zorgen?’ 

The global Covid crisis brought healthcare into the spotlight. Care however, extends beyond the strictly medical in that it includes everything we do to preserve and restore the world. The erosion of the welfare state, the plundering of the Global South and the crossing of planetary boundaries is alarming. There is also the link between the exploitation of people and of nature. Imagine we find the courage truly to care for all people and other earthlings, for our unique living world. 

Inspired by ecofeminists worldwide, the authors wonder: can care be a new starting point, based on connectedness and generosity? Can care, as an emancipatory principle, underpin politics and economics?

In this webinar, we will dive deeper into the content of the essay, followed by a Q&A with the audience.
