This workshop dives into one of the most radical ideas of our time - Universal Basic Income (UBI). As economic, ecological, and social crises collide, could a no-strings-attached cash grant for all be the key to a fairer, more sustainable world? From philosophy to policy, we’ll break down the ethics, economics, and political momentum behind UBI and ask: is now the moment to rewrite the rules of society?
