How do we navigate a turbulent world that offers fewer and fewer stable guardrails? What (new) navigation skills will we need in the future?
It is important for every person to understand their inner and outer worlds and to bring them into harmony as far as possible. The inner world that affects us – mentally, emotionally, and morally. This is about trust and loss of trust, personal balance, optimism after crises, dealing with “the other,” and questions of identity.
The familiar external world is currently undergoing fundamental change. Globally, we are witnessing the end of a Western-dominated order. A new, stable structure is not yet in sight. Instead, we see a multipolar world characterized by a few centers of power, different value systems, and new political dynamics. Established alliances are eroding, while new ones are fragile and situational. Orientation no longer arises automatically from a common set of norms. In Germany, too, familiar certainties are slipping away: for example, the alliance between young and old is under strain, the intergenerational contract appears fragile, and debt and redistribution are shifting burdens onto future generations. How can young and old navigate together without blocking each other?
