We are living through a historic convergence of environmental, economic, social, and geopolitical crises. Although the word crisis originally denoted a moment of decision or change, it has come to carry a negative meaning—reflecting humanity’s struggle to adapt and transform.
The simultaneous upheavals across the very foundations of our civilisation have created a complex and daunting scenario.
While the situation is alarming, positive steps have emerged through new projects, policies, and awareness initiatives. From these forward-looking efforts the conference takes inspiration.
The conference theme aim to foster a critical yet optimistic dialogue on Europe’s best practices over the past fifty years - bridging the old and the new century - to compile a collection of positive actions and transformations that can serve as examples for conceivable futures.
