Details

This conference seeks to engage multidisciplinary and ecumenical dialogues on key social, economic and ecological concerns from a variety of perspectives.

Among others, the goal of the conference is to build a permanent partnership and long life learning process to promote social and ecological justice.

We are interested in multi-disciplinary exchanges and insights, with a focus on religious-based and scientific approaches to sustainability problems and injustice. The conference will be a blend of learning and discussion, while attending to the magnificent Earth and cultural context of this region of Crete.

Participants are invited to submit proposals for consideration on the following topics:

  1. Economical ethics and ecological economics
  2. Financial crisis, global market and poverty
  3. Ecological crisis, climate change and eco-justice
  4. Sustainable policy, religion and ethics
  5. Production, distribution and consumption patterns
  6. Permaculture, sustainable practices and case studies
Presentations can be up to 20 minutes in length, followed by discussion. Please consider participatory and creative styles, panel proposals, workshop, round table or poster sessions. Focus on causal roots and practical solutions for each issue are especially
