NOWs: Q Berlin – The Berlin Conference on Freedom and Responsibility

Berlin stands for freedom, courage and tolerance. We believe our dynamic city should act as a strong voice in tackling the most pressing issues of our time – revitalising our social values, and welcoming people from far and wide. Q BERLIN provides a space to share these global perspectives, disrupt, inspire, and tear down walls to shape the future we want to live in.

Q BERLIN invites you to hear and share perspectives on today’s most pressing issues. Spend a day full of inspirational talks, interviews and Q&A-sessions from and with international guests on the driving topics Civil Responsibility, Urban Life, New Work and Human Technologies.

In an increasingly globalised world: What values need to be renegotiated? What are opportunities and risks through artificial intelligence? What impact could life-long learning, basic income and volunteer work have on society? Sustainability and city planning for the future: What are the key factors?

Over the span of two days, Q BERLIN engages in an open dialogue on social values and the roles each of us plays shaping the future we want to live in.
