Solidarity: a value to be redefined?
Place Joannès Ambre
Lyon 4ème
Meeting organized with the Théâtre de la Croix-Rousse and the Lyon Opera as part of the cycle "Les causes communes. Justice/Injustice"
With steadily rising poverty and alarming increases in inequality and the number of people living on the verge of poverty, social issues have become major political issues. How can we put the social question back at the heart of the social contract? How can we build new political, social, and community foundations that reconcile individual autonomy and national solidarity? How can we keep solidarity from being reduced to mere rhetoric?
