Young Europeans ́ Forum 2019 “Building Bridges for Social Cohesion”

In many European societies, social cohesion is challenged by megatrends, such as globalization, digitalization, growing inequality, and migration. In addition – or in part as a consequence of those megatrends – our living together is confronted with increasing cultural diversity, a greater plurality of values and lifestyles, as well as a rise in populism, polarization and a loss of confidence in democracy. Recognizing that many European countries face these challenges, a number of important questions arise: What holds societies together? What must we do today so that this cohesiveness will remain present in the future? How can we foster social cohesion
