People in areas such as work, education, housing and care are often pitted against one another in a perpetual discourse of competition. But who benefits from this narrative of \u201eus versus them\u201c? Together with various experts, Sara Hassan analyses who benefits from social inequality, how power structures work and what opportunities exist to create greater solidarity and justice.<br>To answer the question \u201eWho against whom?\u201c together \u2013 or at least to get a little closer to an answer \u2013 the evening provides a space for in-depth perspectives and open discussion.The editors, Sara Hassan and Josefa Niedermaier, will be in conversation with urban sociologist Mara Verli\u010d, democracy researcher Tamara Ehs, IG24 activist Flavia Matei and speech therapist Ali D\u00f6nmez, taking their thoughts beyond the book and opening them up for discussion. The event will be moderated by Noura Maan. In a subsequent interactive discussion, there will be an opportunity to share questions, experiences and personal perspectives, and to reflect together on ways to achieve greater solidarity and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sara Hassan,<\/strong> An author and former policy officer at the European Parliament, her work explores how power is used \u2013 but also abused \u2013 within institutions.<br><strong>Josefa Niedermaier<\/strong><em>, <\/em>Freelance editor, working on non-fiction book and text projects relating to society, inclusion and sustainability.
