Kosmopolitics
The conversations Zurich has been missing are back.
We’ve had plenty of debates. But fewer and fewer real conversations.
In a time of overlapping crises, growing polarization and constant information overload, we need places where we can meet again as people—not as opposing viewpoints. That’s exactly why Kosmopolitics is returning.
Following the legendary Monday evenings at Kosmos, Kosmopolitics is finding a new home at Kraftwerk, part of Impact Hub Zurich. The same spirit. A new chapter.
A space for courageous conversations
Kosmopolitics brings together people who are genuinely curious about different perspectives.
We create space for courageous, challenging and constructive conversations about the complex issues shaping our society, questions that don’t have simple answers.
Not to convince others.
Not to be right.
But to listen, to understand, and to think forward together.
Because we believe meaningful social change begins where people truly listen to one another.
What to expect
Each evening explores a question that matters to society.
Together with strong partner organizations and carefully curated guests from academia, journalism, politics, business, and civil society, we create a space where diverse perspectives meet, fostering open dialogue and fresh ways of thinking.
Inspiring guests
Expert:innen mit unterschiedlichen Hintergründen teilen Erfahrungen, Wissen und Perspektiven.
Open discussions
Keine klassischen Podien. Keine Schlagabtausche. Sondern Gespräche, die neugierig machen und lange nachwirken.
New perspectives
Kosmopolitics lädt dazu ein, Fragen gemeinsam zu denken – statt vorschnelle Antworten zu suchen.
Why Kosmopolitics?
Our society is facing complex challenges. More than ever, we need spaces where people with different perspectives can engage in respectful dialogue.
Kosmopolitics creates exactly that kind of space, open, curious and constructive.
Because meaningful change often begins not with answers, but with the right questions.
