The festival offers several critical thinking and imagination workshops, to draw the climate fresco, write the scenario of the future or even do philosophy for children.
Also on the program, about fifteen meeting-debates animated, to raise the issues around our way of consuming. Is green growth a sham? Will there be too many of us on Earth? How to reactivate solidarity and struggles? What to understand about collapsology? Is science fiction still visionary? Is Democracy Broken?
