In re: NEXT SYSTEM I replicate below a way to explore the ways to participate by pasting an email I received from Deissy. If anyone in this group is interested in proposing a Panel in that Convergence, I could be a part of it if you see fits. If anyone would like to take lead on this, you can send me an email to ana.heras@communityeconomies.org 

In re: Laura Rival´s proposal, I think we said she d send it to people interested in collaborating in a re-reading of her text. I could participate in this, Laura, and please, I ask you to send it to my other address: ana.heras@communityeconomies.org

In re: direct democracy, I think we said that the group who has already worked on this will take lead. I can also be a part of this initiative next year. 

This is what I registered that I volunteered to participate in. Thanks.
Ana

NEXT SYSTEM. Session proposals for the Forum* portion of the Second Next System Convergence this September 4th and 5th are now open! If you would like to submit you have until August 13th to do so.

We are looking for sessions that combine any mix of ecological, societal, economic, cultural, political, legal, or technological systems. Of course, the sessions can be very practical and focused on particular cases and particular projects. However, they should relate in a clear way to the Next System framework overall. 

This includes sessions related to the following: 

  1. The relationship between system design, 
  2. System crises,
  3. Systemic movements, 
  4. And/or system change. 

You can find the link to submit your proposal here (link).

*Note: The Forum portion of the Next System Convergence is an all virtual event and will take place all day Thursday, September 4th.

Please feel free to share this form within your academic and non-academic networks, organizations and activists.

Thank you,
