For the first episode of the new Future 500 Podcastseries “Global DialoguePerspectives” we look back to our Future 500 spring workshop 2026 in Brussels and share insights to the panel discussion “Voices Rising: Rebuilding Bridges. Dialogue, Trust and Solidarity Post-October 7th” with Camila Piastro, Barbara von Freytag, Furkan Yüksel, and Achim Rettinger, moderated by Igor Mitchnik (16 March 2026 | Brussels).
In the aftermath of crisis and collective trauma, rebuilding dialogue is both urgent and complex. This conversation explores how trust and solidarity can be strengthened across communities facing polarisation and uncertainty. The panel examines the role of AI-driven communication, online platforms, and traditional media in shaping narratives, influencing public discourse, and impacting interreligious relations – drawing on practical experience in fields.

Global DialoguePerspectives, the Future 500 podcast series, brings together emerging thinkers and changemakers from around the world to explore the ideas shaping our societies and to engage with questions of trust, cooperation, and meaningful dialogue across divides. The conversations explore current philosophical and technological developments and examine their impact on dialogue, on rebuilding relationships, and on practical cross-community initiatives amid rising tensions across Europe and around the world.
Through expert insights, personal reflections, and shared conversations, we explore: How do we build sustainable movements for change?
