We aim to explore what tools and methods we as civic actors can use which can help us to build deeper trust among people hence depolarize divided societies in challenging political situations. We will also look into trust in the times of Corona. How can the civil society respond to the new situation and how can it mitigate polarisation?

Thank you for organizing such a great conference and I'm really hopeful to see you soon in the future.
Fatemeh Conference ParticipantThank you very much! It was very inspiring and a pleasure. Also the workshop was full of interesting people. Fingers crossed that you can organise the conference in 2021 again in an "analogue" way. Although you were able also to create an inviting digital atmosphere, which is mostly not the case in the Zoomosphere :- ).
