On October 25-27, in the municipal cultural center of the city of Athens, the fifth TRISE conference took place under the motto «Power to destroy, power to create: building a culture of resistance – towards radical social change».
The three-day event offered a rich programme, which explored in depth contemporary democratic and ecological theories and practices, presented by more than 30 speakers from more than 20 different cities from across Europe and beyond. The general feeling was that the presented papers held a very high intellectual level, and thus discussions with the contributors were initiated and a committee was appointed to prepare the publication of the conference proceedings into a book of one or more volumes. More information will come.
The positive feeling was reinforced by the significant attendance of the sessions – close to 200 people in total attended the conference. In the hallway leading to the conference auditorium poster presentations were put on display, and publishers from all over the world exhibited books and magazines related to social ecology and social change. A genuine agora for exchange of radical democratic ideas was opened amid the festive atmosphere.
