The vast majority of the words have a negative connotation, inequality being the first one, many times linked to oppression and power structures. However, here and there there are a few suggestions for a path forward: reform, moratorium. At the end of the course, we would like to be able to see an increase in the number of such words linked to alternatives. How? By using each webinar to provide basic tools to get to know the debt world, understand it and contribute to a change.
