Exploring Approaches that lead to Transformation and Sustainability

This webinar aims to foster knowledge exchange and mutual learning.

Calls for transformation have never been so clear and loud. Multiple pathways and alternative visions for the future have repeatedly been discussed at world summits. UNESCO, for instance, defined the standards for sustainability as early as 2015. Yet, there is very little common understanding of how such standards can be implemented, how transformations may come about, and how the gaps between knowledge and action toward sustainability can be bridged. Our goal is to explore tools and spaces that until now have remained distinct.

Our BRIDGING Communities Café Session #S2S2 will host practitioners from around the world. We will first introduce the holistic, creative, practical, and collaborative approaches that they have designed and tested, then will invite participants to join our exchanges and journey toward transformation. Learning how to promote a framework where justice and imagination as well as science and the fine arts can thrive in a healthy environment would be the outcome of our session.

All are welcome to participate, no prior engagement with BRIDGES is required, yet please register here, so that the Zoom-link will be provided to you.
