Caroline Paulick-Thiel:
Politics for Tomorrow

“Achieving Dynamic Stability Through Organisational Change”

How can institutions become more vibrant through change? And how might we develop a language that is grounded in scientific and planetary contexts, rather than viewing society through a dogmatic lens of innovation? Caroline Paulick-Thiel, Director of Politics for Tomorrow/nextlearning e. V., takes these questions as her starting point, understanding cultural institutions as nodes of social resilience within a broader system. She sees them as part of a living metabolism that, through its rhythm of inhalation and exhalation, makes social complexity both visible and malleable.
Drawing on system theories, crises, and the narcissistic tendencies of institutional structures, she presents cultural institutions as vital signposts, currently poised at a decisive turning point.
