Emilia Roig

In the organizer's words:

Dear son or This is how you save the world

Trump's inhuman turbo-capitalism and the fascist policies of AfD, Le Pen and Meloni are aimed at exploiting and oppressing each other. But what can we do about it? In a letter to her son, Emilia Roig outlines a bold new ethic of being in times of crisis. She argues for placing radical care at the center of our self-understanding and value system - physically, intellectually, spiritually and emotionally. We don't need heroes to save the world. We need a re-evaluation of our values.

Emilia Roig, born in 1983, has a doctorate in political science and is the author of the bestsellers "Why We Matter" and "The End of Marriage". In 2020, she was a member of the Non-Fiction Book of the Year jury. She has received numerous awards for her work.
