In times marked by uncertainty and profound transformation, one question becomes increasingly urgent: How can we live, act, and solve problems together? From climate crises and geopolitical conflict to technological upheaval and social fragmentation, we are no longer facing isolated challenges. Today’s crises are deeply interconnected, reinforcing one another in complex, unpredictable ways. These polycrises cannot be addressed by any single nation, discipline, or individual alone.
So what does cooperation mean in a world of accelerating change? How do we build trust across borders, cultures and generations? What does it take to share knowledge, shape technology responsibly, or defend and revitalize democracy?
The Opening Week invited first-year-students to explore cooperation as a creative, political, and deeply human force.
