6 Degrees Berlin 2020 brought together 350 people from different countries, backgrounds, and perspectives for a day of conversation and connection at the Barenboim-Said Akademie. We talked about the reality of diversity in Berlin and Europe, how we can embrace and benefit from this diversity, how we can push stagnant institutions from both inside and out to make positive and effective change, and how we can work together to reject cynicism and forge a better future. The conversation continues at 6 Degrees Montréal on March 30, 2020.
