Description of the event:

Key words: Regenerativeness. Circularity. Sustainability. Integrality. Flatness. Resistance. Waste management.

Let’s use millions of years of nature’s intelligence and wisdom, systems thinking and dialogue to create a more meaningful future for the entire environmental system and all its participants. In nature, with nature, through nature. Because we are nature.

How to act, create, be, so that every person, organization and ecosystem of the environmental sector is viable, we find the meaning of working together? It is inevitable that a person, an organization, a sector will need to change and adapt in order to survive and adapt.

Change is possible in two ways: from within or forced by external factors. Which way will we continue our journey together? The challenge of the event format for participants: a self-organized event with a limited number of presentations or discussions The content of the conference is created by its participants, applying the latest co-creation methods.

Systematic dialogue strategy sessions methods have been used in various countries and sectors for more than fifty years. Regional, national, international, sector or organizational strategies are formed on their basis when faced with extremely difficult conditions or tasks: wars, system collapses, mergers, economic crises, system transformations. The methods of systematic dialogue are based on the scientific discoveries of sociologists and anthropologists. (Lippit, 2006; Von Bertalannfly, 1968, Agryris, 2004; Weisbord, 2012).

Description of the event:

The exhibition features home textile products created through value-enhancing recycling methods, produced by clients of the Good Momentum Foundation work centers. Old jeans were transformed into aprons, pot holders, bags, decorative pillows, and rugs. In addition to raising awareness about environmental issues, the exhibition also has a social dimension because the production of recycled products provides jobs and creative outlets for individuals with mental disabilities in the Good Momentum Foundation work centers, who have been marginalized from society. The focus of the exhibition materials is denim fabric, as it is found in every wardrobe and is durable enough for everyday home textile production. Moreover, the environmental footprint of producing new denim fabric is significant, and creating new products from old jeans would keep the fabric in circulation for longer.

In nature, invisible and barely perceptible processes are far more important than those that can be seen with the naked eye and touched with the hand. Below the surface of the soil, where teeming life is bubbling, our gaze does not easily reach. We only notice a very small part of how everything in the living world is interconnected. The awareness of other life forms, their communication, and mutual effects remain beyond the reach of our senses. From here on, knowledge and imagination come into play. What cannot be seen can be imagined.

Description of the event:

“Eesmärgid
Üheks Metsaülikooli sihiks on tuua üliõpilased rakendama oma ülikoolitarkust ja värsket pilku koos ekspertidega, et lahendusi leida olulistele Eesti küsimustele. Arutame Eesti asja metsas ehk igapäeva elust eemal, et oleks võimalik keskenduda. Eksperdid viivad kuulajaskonna sõlmpunktideni, seejärel tekib arutelu ja mõtlemisprotsess, mis võib viia lahendusteni. Täidame sellega ühe olulise demokraatia toimemehhanismi nõudeid, mis eeldab, et kodanikud on hästi informeeritud, mille tulemusena suudavad nad ise probleemide lahendusi välja pakkuda.

Teiseks sihiks on demokraatliku arutelu arendamine, mis eeldab tahet teiste inimeste seisukohtadest aru saada, kompromisse leida ning isiklikust kriitikast hoiduda.

Põhimõtted
Selleks, et arutelu oleks sisukas ja tulemusele orienteeritud, järgime Metsaülikoolis selliseid põhimõtteid:

Minnakse sina peale üle, et tekiks usalduslik õhkkond.
Aktsepteeritakse teise seisukohti, isegi siis, kui ei olda teise arvamusega nõus.
Kunagi ei minda isiklikuks – a la sina ei tea asjast ju midagi.
Ollakse orienteeritud lahenduste otsimisele.
Viimaks – huumorimeel säilib ka keeruliste teemade arutamisel.”

Place: Sofia, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”

Link to more information: https://www.uni-sofia.bg/index.php/bul/universitet_t/fakulteti/stopanski_fakultet/mezhdunarodna_konferenciya_sustainability_social_economy_and_digital_transformation_2023

Description of the event:

The FEBA annual conference provides a framework for complex dialogues such as triple Helix dialogue (industry-academia-policy makers) and citizens – scholars dialogues. It is a place to share values, knowledge and skills and plan new research experiments and have impactful discussions, a venue where work-in-progress is enriched and fine-tuned, rather than solely presented as a ready-made artefact.

We blend three themes in this year’s conference – sustainability, social economy, and digital transformation. We look for contributions from academia, industry – established and start-up world, policy makers and citizens (civil society activists). We aim at producing new insights how we could transform the old business and organization models with the help of technological change for accelerated but still sustainable economic recovery.

25 years after its establishment we re-star the Club of Sofia as a major playmaker in the climate change domain and as a platform to bring Bulgarian multidisciplinary researchers from around the world to contribute to ESG policy, industry and academic impact.
