"We are the times" is the title of the 2024 edition of the Summer Seminar of the Symbola Foundation, which will be held in Mantua, Italy, at the Bibiena Scientific Theater from June 27 to 29, 2024.
This motto, taken from the famous phrase by Saint Augustine, "Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and the times shall be good. We are the times," was chosen by the organizers to emphasize human beings' responsibilities—the cultural, economic, and social choices we must make—to address the current, looming, and future crises: climate, demographic, energy, and geopolitical.
