Our modern societies and the fast pace of life have undermined community socialization. People lack trust and real connection to other people. Their main drive of action and being seem to be growth and profit-oriented activities, promoting competitiveness instead of compassion and solidarity. In this chapter, we are in search of an alternative imaginary beyond competition and towards mutual concern, caring and sharing between and among people, as well as with the wider environment.
The aim of this section is to facilitate the making of a step forward to other socio-economic structures and sustainability values of self-sufficiency, social justice and environmental protection, transforming the consumer based community to a more cooperative community. In this sense, this section is dedicated to help participants develop and experiment on ideas for change.
