What might a society look like in which care and mutual support play a more central role? During this event, Carolin Fischer, Head of the BFH strategic thematic field Caring Society, will explain the concept of a caring society and highlight its potential to foster greater solidarity and well-being for everyone.

The event will be followed by a reading by author Regina Dürig, who will present a text written especially for the occasion, with the working title “The Glass Box. Or: How to Invite Happiness. Notes, Echoes and Reflections on Reading Joan Tronto’s ‘Ethics of Care’.”

This event marks the beginning of a series initiated in cooperation with Biel City Library. Throughout the series, the concept of a caring society will be explored from a variety of perspectives and through contributions from different guests.
