Trust Lab

In the Trust Lab, Kultursymposium Weimar participants will have an opportunity to engage with a range of speakers and experts, raise pressing questions and present their own position. In a total of six short, intensive 30-minute rounds of discussion, the Kultursymposium’s themes will be deepened and expanded upon to include new aspects. In the second half of the Trust Lab, participants will be able to switch to a new table with a different thematic focus.

• Everybody wants trust – Nobody wants to trust (Martin Hartmann)
• From Oppression to Empowerment: Trusting in the Women’s Revolution of Iran? (Ali Fathollah-Nejad)

• From hegemony to harmony: Trust in a post-unipolar world (Ali Fathollah-Nejad)
