Join the BRIDGES Sustainability Science Coalition for our second BRIDGING Communities Café Session of season 2 co-hosted by the Environmental Humanities Switzerland (SAGUF, Swiss Academy of Natural Sciences). For this special Café, BRIDGES is proud to partner with the 2024 WorldWide Climate & Justice Education Week.

Session Description: Calls for transformation have never been so clear and loud. Multiple pathways and alternative visions for the future have repeatedly been discussed at world summits. UNESCO, for instance, defined the standards for sustainability as early as 2015. Yet, there is very little common understanding of how such standards can be implemented, how transformations may come about, and how the gaps between knowledge and action toward sustainability can be bridged. Our goal is to explore tools and spaces that until now have remained distinct. Our BRIDGING Communities Café Session will host practitioners from around the world. We will first introduce the holistic, creative, practical, and collaborative approaches that they have designed and tested, then will invite participants to join our exchanges and journey toward transformation. Learning how to promote a framework where justice and imagination as well as science and the fine arts can thrive in a healthy environment would be the outcome of our session.

All are welcome to participate (no prior engagement with BRIDGES required). We simply ask you to please keep in mind that these Cafés are intentionally designed to be interactive, and all participants must uphold respect and care for the diversity of perspectives, lived experiences, and identities present.
