What are Transformative Economies?

Transformative Economies refer to an ‘ecosystem’ of practices and models that have been emerging for some time in response to the multiple crises affecting our planet: financial and economic, environmental and climate, social and human. The Festival aims to disseminate culture with respect to paths, models and tools that look towards a renewed society.

The Festival was created in 2022 to disseminate and promote transformative economies in their various forms, taking up the 4 axes proposed by the first ‘World Social Forum of Transformative Economies’ held in Barcelona in 2020, namely:

• the social and solidarity economy;
• the Common Goods (natural, urban, digital, knowledge);
• the agro-ecological movement and food sovereignty;
• feminist economies and gender perspectives;

In addition:

• the positive and virtuous role that local and territorial communities have and can have within social, economic and environmental transformation processes;
• the agenda and issues proposed by the Degrowth movement;
• the movements fighting against the causes of climate change.
