When time flies and everything gets “out of sync,” the best remedy is to reflect on our humanity. How can we do that? We can step out of the whirlwind of the present and focus on childhood and youth.

Franka Henn invites us on such a journey in conversation with Bart Vanmechelen. Bart is part of the leadership team of the Section for Inclusive Social Development, a field perhaps more familiar than any other with viewing past, present, and future as one—and learning to grasp time’s unity.
