Schedule
Join us for an evening reception followed by a full day of speakers, smaller sessions, and opportunities to connect and exchange new economic ideas and practices.
Day one:
Wednesday 1 October
16:00 - 21:00 CET
Venue: Carré Fourvière, 5 Pl. de Fourvière, 69005 Lyon
16:00-19:00 Active Hope workshop: sustaining active hope for a new economy (separate registration required)
This workshop is designed for those who want space to connect more personally to the gathering’s theme of Hope in a time of collapse.
An afternoon of guided practices and discussion sessions invites participants to acknowledge and reflect on their experience of the uncertain and entangled world we are part of, without intellectualising or jumping to solutions. Together, attendees will explore what finding and sustaining active hope in the current geopolitical context requires, both as individuals and collectively for the global new economy movement.
This 3-hour participatory workshop is limited to 60 participants. P4NE grantees will be prioritised. We’ll select attendees from across geographies, disciplines, and approaches to change to reflect the breadth of the new economy ecosystem.
