SUMMARY:Vulnerability and the Power of Privilege
DESCRIPTION:The Covid-19 pandemic affects us all\, whether we live in Sweden or South Africa\, whether we’re managing a big multinational corporation or working as a bartender in the local pub. The virus does not discriminate. However\, it does affect us differently depending on our existing circumstances. There are certain conditions that make some people more susceptible to getting seriously ill if infected. Meanwhile\, some are more dramatically affected than others when a lockdown is imposed. These factors lie mostly outside of a person’s control\, such as age\, ethnicity\, socio-economic status\, living conditions\, underlying health conditions\, country of residence\, employment\, and much more. \nHow differently is this crisis experienced for someone who has a safe and steady income\, vs. someone who is losing theirs? How differently is this pandemic experienced by someone who is considered in the “high-risk” group\, vs someone who is not? How differently does the lockdown impact the quality of life of someone with direct access to a garden\, vs someone living in a small apartment in the city with no access to outdoor spaces\, or for someone without a safe place to call home? How differently does the current situation affect working parents of young children\, vs professionals who are single or childless? In essence\, what has this pandemic taught us about privilege and power dynamics until now\, and how can we learn from it in order to better address these inequalities in the future? \nEach speaker represent uniquely different groups who are deeply affected by the crisis\, in different ways.

SUMMARY:Trust in Political Leadership and Democracy in Times of Crisis
DESCRIPTION:In order to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic\, state leaders from Scandinavia to the Balkans and beyond have imposed significant and unprecedented restrictions on citizens’ rights and freedoms. \nWhile the virus does not discriminate\, the pandemic affects people differently depending on their existing living and health conditions\, access to health care\, information and network. Vulnerable groups are made more vulnerable\, as an ever increasing number of people are finding themselves unemployed or at risk of losing their income. Many politicians are taking this opportunity to mobilise support by placing blame on foreign powers or supranational institutions\, attacking minorities and vulnerable groups\, and positioning themselves as “war-time leaders” in order to generate sympathy and respect. \nFor some political leaders\, this approach seems to be paying off\, but what implications might it have for democracy and its legitimacy? What can policy makers do to actively address issues of concern to their citizens in an integral\, responsive and truthful way? How can politicians gain trust and respect among citizens\, without pointing fingers and shifting blame? What is the role of civil society\, academia and media in counter-acting the negative tendency of scapegoating and avoiding responsibility? And how can we as active citizens work together to foster trust\, solutions and resilience in our communities? \nThese are some of the questions that will be raised through facilitated discussion between a small group of experts and practitioners across Europe. The main aim of the webinar is to initiate a thought- provoking conversation\, and contribute with rational\, respectful and informative public debate in a time marked by fake- news\, conspiracy theories\, scapegoating and weakened democratic institutions.
