International Forum for Well-Being (Past)

The forum's objective: going one step further to initiate systemic transformation!

HEADING TOWARDS A FAIR AND SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY

FROM JUNE 29TH TO JULY 1ST, 2022 – GRENOBLE, FRANCE


In 2018, the International Forum for Well-Being “Wealth, happiness, what indicators to build tomorrow ?” brought together for 3 days more than 1,000 participants from 25 different countries around the question of a new “compass” of society. A first in Europe! Testimonies from all over the world have made more visible and concrete a vision of development based on well-being, and no longer on purely economic considerations. Building on this, Grenoble will host the second edition of the International Forum for Well-Being in June 2022, going one step further to initiate a systemic transformation. This event is part of the Grenoble European Green Capital 2022 program.

This forum is the result of a collaboration between local authorities (Grenoble-Alpes Métropole and the city of Grenoble), members of Grenoble universities (Université Grenoble Alpes and the Economic Peace Chair of GEM) and civil society with CCFD-Terre Solidaire and the FAIR collective (Forum for other wealth indicators).

In relation with Doughnuts Economics, the aims are:
1. to accelerate the transition towards a new compass
2. to translate well-being into action and indicators, between the environmental ceiling and the social foundation
3. Support, develop and nurture the actors of change community

WHO IS THIS CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS AIMED AT ?

    Come to the time dedicated to donuts "BEHIND THE PICTURE: 4 TERRITORIES TELL THEIR DONUT CONSTRUCTION STORY" on Thursday June 30th from 4:30 pm to 6 pm on the university campus of Grenoble (France).

    The donut diagram, invented by Kate Raworth, has a certain symbolic significance, making it possible to link the social and the environmental in a single representation.
    But to achieve this representation and to adapt it to the realities of each territory... there is work to be done!
    This workshop will open a dialogue between advanced experiences and others that are just starting out: Brussels and its famous https://donut.brussels/ , Geneva, the Valence-Romans agglomeration and the Grenoble metropolis. On the menu:
    technical issues: availability of data, choice of a single indicator to represent extremely complex dimensions, definition of the sustainability threshold...
    and more democratic and political questions: with whom is it built, discussed, how do we talk about what is inside the donut, what uses and by whom?
    In short, a dive into the black box of indicators.
