2nd UNESCO MOST Winter School in Poland

The UNESCO MOST Winter School at iASK poses the question: Why are we seeing the rise of post-liberal regimes? And what impact does this have on institutional trust at the local, national, and supranational levels? Is this merely a temporary global ‘glitch’ that will deteriorate over time as new challenges emerge?

With lectures and presentations by experienced academic researchers, activists and public officials with a broad, global horizon, the aim is to open discussions on visions for the establishment and re-establishment of trust on various levels of global, regional and lower levels of governance and politics. Participants will work together to produce a document with recommendations that answer the following questions:

What is citizenship? How does citizenship compare to values connected to local and regional identities?
What values are shared across cultures and countries? What values need to be conserved and what new values need to be defined?
How can a new discourse be created to re-establish mutual trust within and among smaller and larger political entities?
What trust-building tools can be employed by public and educational institutions and civil society?
The document will afterward be distributed to local governments, ministries, and media from the countries and supranational entities represented at the Winter School.

MOST Schools are capacity-building activities focused on strengthening competencies for evidence-informed decision-making. They help develop the capacity of researchers and decision-makers to translate knowledge into action. Their primary goal is to support long-term sustainable development in contexts where capacity gaps constrain translating research into action.
