Towards a New World Order – a seminar at the International People’s College

Are we heading towards a new era of global leadership with increased influence for the global south? What will the role of the powerful nations of China, India, and the United States be in the future? And how will this impact on Europe and the UN?

Join us for a global seminar, 24 February, at the International People’s College (IPC), Montebello Allé 1 in Elsinore, as we engage in a discussion about global politics, geopolitical power relations, and opportunities of the future.

Renowned experts in international relations, Camilla Tenna Nørup Sørensen, Rasmus Sinding Søndergaard, and Jørgen Dige, will share their perspectives and predictions on the global power dynamics in the world of tomorrow and set the stage for a lively folk high school debate, moderated by Clement Kjersgaard.
