Event Programme

 

OUR SPEAKERS INCLUDE

Our keynote speaker will be Anne Snick, who has over thirty years of experience in academic research (KU Leuven), practice in working with families in poverty (University Centre Kortenberg) and action research into new economic models (Flora Network). Her research interests are the systemic analysis of poverty, (gender) inequality and ecological crises. Her focus is on the co-creation of alternative socioeconomic models via commons-based allocation of resources and of a gender analysis of how ‘work’ is defined and valorised.

Our other speakers include:
Cillian Lohan

(European Economic and Social Committee)

Claire Downey

(Co-Ordinator of Community Reuse Network Ireland)

As always at our Seminars, an important part will be the Q&A session
which will allow full participation by those attending.

This event is made possible with the financial support of
the European Parliament to Green European Foundation.

This afternoon’s seminar will explore a commons and community approach to the circular economy and local livelihoods by addressing, amongst others, the following questions:

What role do community groups, co-operatives and local enterprises have in the circular economy?

Under what conditions can the circular economy help us accelerate the transition to a resilient and low carbon society?
