The “Us and Them – Us as Them” cycle's wide-ranging discussions focus on both the Greek and international dimension of immigration.
Has globalization increased social inequality? What is certainly increasing is the gap between rich and poor states. At the same time, however, hundreds of millions of people are being given the opportunity to escape poverty. Are arguments that globalization could ultimately promote just development well-founded? And if they are, what are the chances of social justice winning out?
The “Us and Them – Us as Them” cycle is about immigration, a burning issue throughout Europe. The cycle’s wide-ranging discussions will focus on both the Greek and international dimension of immigration.
Entrance to all the events in the “Talks and Thoughts” Cycle is free and on a first come, first served basis.
The distribution of entrance thickets begins one (1) hour before each event.
Simultaneous translation is provided in the case of speakers using a language other than Greek.
The "Talks & Thoughts" events are also live streamed on onassis.org.The videos are also available after the end of the shows.
