Soziale Energie & neue Kollektive

This moderated dialogue explores social energy, the power of collectives, and a new understanding of time.

Social change is driven by movements. Social energy is a collective force and agency. It circulates and exists only in motion. How do new collectives form? And what holds them together? Protest and movement researcher Dr. Nina-Kathrin Wienkoop shows how protests can mobilize all emotions—except powerlessness and hopelessness. Facing today’s challenges and building strong alliances requires stamina. How can we develop long-term thinking? And how are change and time connected? Time researcher and bestselling author Jonas Geissler provides insights into how we can rethink and reshape our relationship with time. Together, they explore how the smart use of time and the power of the many can create real impact.
