What if the ecological and solidarity-based transition began with reconnecting to our roots, our cultures, and our territories?
As part of the pilot project “Citizen Resistances & Resilience”, you’re invited to an inspiring and hybrid conference broadcast live from Guélack (Senegal), Redange (Luxembourg) and Lomé (Togo) — driven by citizen-led initiatives rooted in their local realities and open to the world.
Hybrid event – From a Shared Vision to Citizen Action
🎤 Three voices, one common vision of resilience:
🇸🇳 Doudou Sow (UIAPR – Senegal): A 30-year journey through the Guélack eco-village, blending tradition, agroecology and community solidarity.
🇹🇬 Semane Koffi (HubCity – Togo): A model of urban social and digital resilience based on circular economy, low-high tech, and youth empowerment.
🇱🇺 Tarik Bouriachi (Äerdschëff – Luxembourg): The “Ecological and Social Security Hubs” as concrete tools for local transformation: food autonomy, sustainable housing, shared governance, low-tech design…
