Hike | The Cost of Caution: Risk, Power, and Responsibility

English 180

Europe’s ability to act is shaped by how it handles risk. Incentives often reward caution over initiative, limiting decisive leadership – raising a critical question: can a system designed to avoid failure still produce decisive leadership? This hike examines risk across individual, institutional, and strategic levels, and how systems can shift to enable agency and responsibility.//INFO: Wear sturdy shoes and bring drinking water.//INFO: In case of heavy rain, the session is going to take place at CCA-Flora-Saal.
