The act of community gathering has been known since the beginning of times and has always allowed civilization to evolve in trouble times.  As we are going through a period of transition into a new era, this is the perfect time for people to gather and exchange ideas. The amount of disruption has never been so great and the idea that our civilization might come to the 6th extinction is on the table. The Survival of human civilization is not guaranteed if we continue to grow and consume on the same models. Scientist are warning and the window of action is narrowing. 

With this Symposium we open the conversation on different aspects of our local development that could help us as a community and create a ripple effect in other cities and communities : circular economy, recycling, composting, urban farming, protection of water and ocean, sea level rise, renewable energies, collaborative networks, mobility. Thought leaders and influencers will share their stories and how they are contributing to protect the environment and become more resilient while reconnecting to the natural world.
