SNF Dialogues podcastsSpectators Or CitizensIn an age where breaking news on crises from climate change to political developments is incessant, the constant flow of information from various sources has paradoxically led to disengagement rather than energizing us. This relentless news stream leaves many citizens feeling overwhelmed and unable to process it all. As a result, their capacity to assess situations, make informed decisions, and actively participate in collective decision-making is compromised.
News becoming a spectacle turns citizens into spectators, raising concerns about its impact on democratic engagement. To address these pressing issues, the SNF Dialogues, curated and moderated by Anna-Kynthia Bousdoukou (iMEdD Managing Director...

SNF Dialogues podcastsModern Political Values, Ancient DramaIn today’s environment of omnipresent polarization, when even the most fundamental values of democracy are being called into question, ancient drama retains its power to catalyze reflection and discussion on political culture.
In addition to their historical value, the tragedies and comedies left to us by ancient authors enduringly evoke—with every reading or performance—values and principles that are surprisingly relevant, universal, and fundamental.
What gives them this power? And can ancient plays help us reestablish the foundational principles that define us as citizens?
