Ethics, Ecology and Society Conversation

This Conversation is intended as a space for problematization, analysis and discussion of issues that concern ecology and human society in general, with an ethical and pragmatic motivation in the background. That is, it is about addressing specific problems that concern us all as citizens of the world and as members of a particular society, under the slogan "think globally, act locally."

 

Although theorizing is welcome, in this space we seek above all to become aware of specific problems and issues that directly or indirectly affect the individual and their environment, immediately proposing possible solutions and paths of action that result in greater individual and collective well-being.

 

We seek clarity and rigor in discussion and analysis, as well as the viability and sustainability of the proposed solutions, without this necessarily requiring formalism or technical jargon.

 

We seek to support the discussion with empirical data and argumentation, without necessarily requiring academics. This space is open to any citizen who – with an ethical motivation – wishes to present a specific topic/problem that affects society and/or ecology, for collective analysis and eventual solution.

 

We seek to create a space of empowerment for all of us who feel overwhelmed and frustrated by the problems and challenges of today's world, but who also believe that community meeting and discussion is the key to beginning to reverse social and environmental deterioration, and also the path to building a better world –––without proselytizing or particular religious or political obedience.

​

This Conversation is free and we consider it part of our social responsibility at CINCCO; Therefore, we are not able to make any payment to the speakers.
