What are we looking for?

Exacerbated modern individualism and the idea of unlimited progress and growth have led us to a global crisis. Against this backdrop, it is urgent to discuss powerful conceptual platforms, such as the common good and integral ecology, in order to reverse this situation. We propose to focus on community and full life that respects the rights of all living beings, as a necessary path to harmonious coexistence and global survival. We invite the national and international community to broaden the diversity of knowledge and participate in the “Week of the Common Good”, from November 11 to 14, to address these issues from different perspectives.

Forum on Integral Ecology in Latin America

This forum seeks to analyze, from a conceptual and empirical perspective, the scope and challenges of integral ecology in Latin America. It starts from some questions such as: How is integral ecology understood? What is the importance of this paradigm in Latin America? What are its implications as a conceptual framework for research? What is its importance as a guiding framework for actions in defense of the territory? What is its relevance in the formation of the next generations? How do the different communities incorporate integral ecology in their strategies, practices and mobilizations? What are the theoretical and practical intersections between integral ecology and the common good?

Encounters for Good Living

This transdisciplinary meeting arises from the need to understand the concept of “buen vivir” from different epistemological perspectives. It seeks to recover the notion and practice of the common good, fundamental for our society, understanding first the diverse worldviews and ways of perceiving what is good and necessary in different societies. The central question will be, what does the common good, the good life, the good living mean for each diverse society?
