CONFERENCE

SEPTEMBER

Sustainability is unavoidable.
It will happen anyway by the interplay of disastrous ecological, social and economic trends and events.But we could take initiatives: we can design and develop this transition in a process of collective decisions and actions.

This practice-oriented conference wants to explore design and developments for eco-social transformations by showing, discussing and experimenting within a transdisciplinary and participatory setting.
