With this international meeting we aim to bring together different actors, activists, academics, artists in a critical dialogue on how to in a meaningful and passionate way continue the work for human dignity, lively democracy and a thriving community of life.
Everything is really connected and intertwined in a simple and complicated web of dependencies and interactions. One cannot separate the lessons learned from the pandemic on human and ecosystem health from the climate policies needed for societal transformation to the ongoing brutal invasion of Ukraine and ripples felt across the world. We should with inspiration from similar historical times and groups find bridges that brings together different causes and interests in the global community so that we can build understanding, solidarity and support systems to deal with the next great war, the next runaway climate disaster, the next violent authoritarian take over.
Join us for an intense, creative and critical day of dialogues and discussions!
