The program consists of lectures, interactions, performances and a cultural deep-dive into Berlin’s core. Together with international thinkers, unconventional minds and participants from all over the world, this upcoming Q BERLIN QUESTIQNS will strive to find a common path towards balance by exploring:

How do we balance the complex relationship of global challenges and our social interests, personal needs and economic equality?

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMICAL EQUALITY TO POWER STRUCTURES?

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP OF SCIENCE AND TECH TO ETHICS?

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP OF CULTURAL AND SOCIAL IDENTITY TO EMPOWERMENT?

Q BERLIN QUESTIQNS 2017 REVIEW

Kick-off Q 2017

A forum for finding answers – Q BERLIN QUESTIQNS was founded in 2017 by visitBerlin and red onion. Gathering leading thinkers and the public for a two-day interactive event in Berlin, Q BERLIN QUESTIQNS was curated to provoke inquiry into meaningful questions shaping contemporary society, in the present and in fast changing times. Speakers including star architect Rem Koolhaas, author Taiye Selasi, women’s advocate Alaa Murabit, and Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus explored the topics Work (What do we do when there’s nothing left to do?), Governance (How should we govern at the pace of economic, social and technological change?), Cultural Identity & Experience of Difference (Imagine yourself as the other self. How do we embrace tolerance and difference?), Social Justice (What will be the next social contract?) and Urbanization (Urban Angst and Stamina. What are the promising concepts to handle the rise and fall of the city?). Building off the energy and engagement of the first edition, Q BERLIN QUESTIQNS will again bring inquisitive minds together in November 2018.

“Walking away from the experience, I have broader insights that will surely influence my thinking going forward.”

Q cannot predict the future.

But it can help shape it.
