Alla luce dell'esperienza della pandemia Covid-19, il Workshop intende riflettere su alcuni valori etici che si sono rivelati cruciali in questa circostanza, ma anche vuole analizzare le sfide poste da una necessaria “conversione” etica, medica ed ecologica. Non dobbiamo perdere le lezioni apprese da questa crisi. Una lezione preziosa per un sostanziale rinnovamento delle società e per un futuro più equo e sostenibile.
