Are We Going Backwards?

Conversation - B2-C1 | Advance Level

Description

From fashion to politics, it seems like we’re constantly revisiting the past, but is that a good thing? In this session, we’ll take a critical and respectful look at modern conservatism, rising nostalgia, and how these trends are shaping youth, culture today.

We’ll explore:
- The core values of conservatism and what draws people to them
- Why shifts toward traditionalism are happening again
- The role of nostalgia in decision-making and leadership
- How young people see the future or long for the past

This is a space for thoughtful conversation, not conflict, where we’ll listen, reflect, and challenge ideas respectfully.
