Speaker: Liselotte Wuite
Topic: Decentralising the Future: Community-Led Responses to Global Crises
In this session, what it means to build sustainable, community-based ways of living will be explored by Liselotte, with emphasis placed on the understanding that strong ties rely on cooperation, trust, a shared vision, and participatory decision-making.
The state of the world will be explored, along with the ways in which communities are emerging in response to global, social, ecological, and economic crises. Within this context, regenerative, low-impact, people-centred alternatives will be outlined and offered, emerging from an understanding of the foundations of a grounded project in all its dimensions.
From the formation of a shared vision and values, the reassessment of resources and priorities, to the design of governance and collaborative systems, practical steps and tools will be presented for the reweaving of regenerative communities and villages.
