What resources should everyone have access to, and what should everyone participate in? Is it possible to shift perspectives and reflect on these questions from different viewpoints?

What is a just world?\u201c was conceived as a pilot workshop on John Rawls\u2019 thought experiment on the \u201coriginal position and veil of ignorance\u201d from \u201eA Theory of Justice\u201c (1971) as a basis for negotiating an ethically responsible social contract.
The aim was to promote abstract thinking and an understanding of different perspectives, as well as unbiased discussion to find common solutions to complex societal challenges. The universal principles of justice, fairness, and impartiality were central to this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
