‘KWORDS FOR THE WORLD‘
Mitigating inequalities through a society of education


Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), by supporting the 24ᵃ edition of Triennale Milano International Exhibition as chosen six keywords that, in recentg years, have undergone major transformations in the course of their evolution, and entrusted the understanding of them to six leading personalities in the world of research, some of them Nobel Prize winners, in a dialogue with researchers from FEEM. The subject of this Triennale, ‘Inequalities’, is part of the knowledge framework throughout mankind’s most recent history. The convergence of knowledge and its variable paradigms, the impressive global demographic growth of the last fifty years and many other factors that will be addressed in these meetings make contemporary approaches and visions increasingly obsolete. Van Parijs and Arnsperger, in the book ‘Éthique économique et sociale’ introduced a problematic question several years ago related to the soaring growth of finance and its markets and its impacts on the global social, economic and environmental context, which has still not been answered. In the meantime, an increasingly more challenging world has spanned all disciplines, altered borders, densities, and connections, radically changing the understanding and bearing of many notions. The same themes evoked by the key words will be addressed in workshops designed and run by Metid (Metodi e tecnologie innovative per la didattica) that will unfold over the six days, using methodologies and didactics supported by Artificial Intelligence tools. Bringing together, in the same setting, thoughts of scholars of excellence, the collective intelligence of very young working groups and a more experimental relationship between content and technology, is a contribution that the FEEM, together with Politecnico di Milano, and thanks to the collaboration of Triennale, gladly makes available to an increasingly necessary and interconnected global project culture. Six keywords are: Transitions; Generations; Distribution; Adaptation; Citizenships; Sustainability.
