About the Forum
Together, we'll be imagining what a truly just and sustainable future looks like and discussing how we build the collective power needed to make that vision a reality! We'll be joined by activists, community groups, artists, thought-leaders and organisations from across Ireland and beyond, all from different backgrounds and movements, all learning from each other.
This two-day forum will include a variety of discussions, debates, workshops, exhibitions, performances, etc. It will be a space for connecting and empowering grassroots leadership, not for platforming conventional powerholders and policymakers.
The event is part of a wider European project called ‘Imagining a Climate-Just Future’, which has been funded by EU’s Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme.
