Days: Associationism and Social Transformation

On the coming September 21 and 22 the "II Days on Associationism and Social Transformation" will be held at the Institut Biel Martí in Ferreries organised by the Federation of Neighbours' Associations and the GOB.

The days, within the training cycles by the Fòrum d'ONG de Menorca, intend to present practical experiences that promote the different fields of the world of associations.

The days will start in the afternoon of Friday 21, with the presentation of the project Balears 2015, promoted by Sa Nostra. This will be followed by the presentation of the project Renta Básica, one of the most solid initiatives that have been proposed in the latest years to combat social exclusion deriving from economic poverty. The events programmed for Friday will end with a round table on globalisation.

On Saturday 22 in the morning, REAS will be presented, a network for alternative economy and solidarity, followed by an explanation of experiences in the region Castilla-León in ecological agricultural administration, and a talk on the Custody of the territory, a formula used successfully in America (North and South) and that consists of voluntary agreements with private properties, that permit the safety for future generations of environmental values most related to the area.

In the afternoon, there will be another talk on the experience of the city of San Sebastián, that has been carrying out action in favour of the pedestrians for 10 years. The days will end with a second round table centred on long term planning within the NGOs.
