SUMMARY:Creating Eco-Societies through Urban Commons Transitions (Brussels)
DESCRIPTION:Context: Towards socio-ecological societies\nCities are becoming a new and hopeful transnational governance level. They are organising themselves in a whole tissue of networks (Fearless Cities\, Fabcities\, etc.)\, working together in domains like climate policy\, renewable energy and urban economy. \nAt the same time\, citizens are developing a whole range of urban commons\, based on co-operation and an ethics of care. Tired of only being a powerless consumer or a passive citizen\, we get active as maker\, urban farmer\, solidarity volunteer\, user of shared resources\, civic or social entrepreneur\, etc. This goes along with the establishment of new organisations and infrastructures like fab labs\, energy co-ops\, co-working spaces\, urban food production plots\, and many more. \nIn recent years\, we have seen cities like Ghent and Bologna moving a step further\, establishing structures and processes that aim at building synergies between the public and the commons domain. This is part of a new political vision\, the Partner State. So\, a partner city sustains and gives incentives to alternative civil and economic institutions\, like the commons and cooperatives. The conference\, as part of this year’s transnational project around Urban Commons Transitions\, therefore aims to look at these developments of collaborative city-making and to examine those prototypes of transformative cities as a driving force towards socio-ecological societies. \nAbout the Event: A conference to inspire and motivate\nLately institutions\, research groups and organisations were created to investigate how commons could be integrated in a more sustainable way in the vivid networks of cities. During this conference\, organised with the support of the Flemish Think Tank Oikos\, experts from different projects and institutions will inspire you with their knowledge and findings about sustainable commons in cities.  \nDraft Programme\n19:30 – 19:40 INTRODUCTION Dirk Holemans\, Director of Oikos and GEF Board member \n19:40 – 20:20 THE VISION OF TWO EXPERTS Michel Bauwens & Elena De Nictolis \n20:20 – 20:50 THREE STORIES ON URBAN COMMONS \nMarie Haspeslagh\, Enchanté – a network of warm-hearted merchants \nLucie Evers\, Partago – a coop for electric car sharing – Mobility Factory \n3rd speaker to be announced \n20:50 – 21:10 PANEL DISCUSSION “CHANGING THE CITY”\, Marie Haspeslagh\, Lucie Evers\, tbc \n21:10 – 21:30 CLOSING PANEL “URBAN COMMONS TRANSITION”\, Michel Bauwens & Elena De Nictolis \nKeynote speakers\n \nMichel Bauwens \nFounder and director of the P2P Foundation and expert in peer production\, governance and property. Bauwens is a well-known public speaker and thought leader. In 2017 he wrote the Commons Transition Plan for Ghent\, after a similar project for Ecuador. \n  \n \nElena De Nictolis \nResearch associate at LabGov\, the LABoratory for the GOVernance of the City as a Commons. She prepares a Phd thesis on public policies for urban co-governance and the relation with the quality of city democracy at LUISS University of Rome. \n  \n\nRegister now\nTo attend this inspiring conference\, follow this link and order your tickets on the bottom of the page. \nTo complete your registration\, transfer the entrance fee of 5 € to BE29 0015 9877 0164 (BIC: GEBA BE BB) Oikos vzw with the reference ‘Commons Congress’. \n\nStay tuned for updates\nSubscribe to our Facebook event\, where you will receive the latest news on speakers and the detailed programme\, and follow us on Facebook or Twitter to learn about our other activities. \n

SUMMARY:"Expulsions" author Saskia Sassen to participate in a debate in Brussels
DESCRIPTION:Saskia Sassen is professor of Sociology at Columbia University in New York. She is an expert on transnational migrations flows and a reference on globalisation. Her books have been translated into 12 languages and she is a member of the Club of Rome. Her criticism of growing inequality has earned her the label of the female “Piketty”. \nThe discussion was introduced by Gie Goris (Mo Magazine)\, with the participation of two special guests: Isabelle Ferreras (Sociologist at UCL\, researcher at FRNRS\, associate at “the labor and worklife program” of Harvard Law School) and Florent Marcellesi (Spokesperson for the Spanish Greens in the European Parliament\, member of the European Parliament as of next October\, and expert in international cooperation). The lecture was held in English\, with translation to French and Flemish. \nSassen’s most recent book\, “Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy” describes how capitalism has entered a new phase that is increasingly brutal\, even for those who may previously have felt shielded. The usual concepts of injustice and poverty are no longer sufficient to explain the current dislocation\, both socio-economic and ecological\, which is translated by a sharp rise in inequalities and unemployment\, an increasing number of people in incarceration\, as well as the accelerated destruction of land and water reserves. The time has come to recognise these tendencies as exclusions\, or even as expulsions: from one’s livelihood\, one’s home and even from the biosphere which renders life possible. \nWhat Sassen attempted to demonstrate is the complexity generated by the combination of knowledge or technologies\, used within the financial sphere as well as towards the destruction of the environment. This complexity contributes to an obscuring of the responsibilities in this situation. \nPlace: IHECS\, Rue du Poinçon – 1000 BXL \nDate: March 8th\, 2016
