- Friday 2 October
Across the world, a new movement is gaining momentum, with political experiments, new institutions and strategies that seek to give future generations a voice in the decisions we make today. The question now is what this means for Denmark, and how concern for future generations can be translated from principle into political practice.
To understand where this development comes from – and where it may lead – Fremtidskoalitionen (The Future Coalition) opens the session with an introduction to the bigger picture: from the idea of responsibility across generations to the international and Danish initiatives that are shaping a new political agenda.
Next, Johanna Bernsel, Deputy Head of Cabinet to European Commissioner Glenn Micallef at the European Commission, will present the EU’s strategy for intergenerational fairness. She will introduce the tools designed to embed long-term thinking into policymaking and public governance, while also exploring the role that arts and culture can play in making intergenerational fairness tangible and fostering the cultural foundations needed for this emerging political vision.
Finally, we turn our attention to Denmark. Through a facilitated conversation, we will draw on international experiences to explore how intergenerational fairness can be translated into Danish policy – and how future generations can be given a genuine voice in the decisions that shape their future.
