Just over three years ago, on February 23rd, 2022, we held our timely Online Colloquium "Taming the Bear", looking at Putin's leadership and meaning-making from an integral lens. A few hours later, Putin started his full-scale attack on Ukraine.

In this Colloquium, a conversation with friends from Ukraine, we would like to offer a space to reflect about past events and future possibilities based on integral thinking.

  • What are missing perspectives in the debate about this conflict?
  • What are blind spots that we tend to avoid?
  • What can Europe and the West learn from Ukraine?
  • What lessons do we need to learn in view of more integral futures?
