Book Bath with Sigbjørn Johnsen and Ina Libak: The Slow Security
Vitenparken invites you to an inspiring conversation about politics and community, where CEO Solveig Arnesen meets Sigbjørn Johnsen and Ina Libak on April 29th at 6:00 PM at Vitenparken .
As a knowledge center with a focus on sustainable development – both environmentally and socially – we regularly organize a wide range of events with socially relevant topics. This time we will hear from social worker Ina Libak and Labour Party politician and former Minister of Finance Sigbjørn Johnsen, who has recently published the book The Slow Security .
In the book, the authors highlight the value of generations standing up for each other throughout their lives. This "generational contract" helps give children a safe and good upbringing, so that as adults they find their place in the workforce, pay taxes and help support those who previously built the welfare state.
But it's also about values – like the care on a grandmother's lap, or the sense of belonging in a group that creates trust. Without these small and large communities, society cannot function.
We live in a time of great political challenges, which can lead to division and conflict between generations – or they can become an opportunity for unity. A slow security can grow if we trust each other and are there for each other.
