ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

We invite you to discuss the art of connecting in the face of divisions. This is a conference in the Good Connections series.

The starting point for reflection that we want to undertake together is the recognition of the paradoxical fact that in the modern era of universal connectivity we must work intensively on the art of connecting. As individuals, communities, societies and generations, we are technologically interconnected, but we lack cohesion, understood as the ability to establish and develop positive, mutually beneficial, strengthening and lasting relationshps.

The art of connecting includes ideas, research approaches, action strategies and social practices that search for and traverse paths of cohesion in a way that is processual, evolving and collective.
