SOCIAL INNOVATIONS AS SITES OF RESISTANCE AND TRANSFORMATION IN TIME OF CRISES
International conference – 7th edition
April 14 to 16, 2025
Tamatoa Bambridge will be a speaker in the panel 2: “Sustainability transitions and experiments in social innovation.Faced with the worsening climate and environmental crisis, the inaction of political decision-makers and the pressure of industrial lobbies, a number of civil society initiatives are being implemented to take local action and contribute to the sustainability transitions. These initiatives are part of a new relationship with the territory and nature, and enable experimentation with practices that bring about social innovation. The panel will discuss examples of these initiatives with three people actively involved in such experiments or who have conducted action-research projects on them.
