Aim: We want people of all ages and from all over the world to meet in an ’extended conversation’, where the wisdom, insights and experience of the Elders join with the dreams, expectations and fears about the future of the Young. In reflecting together for All Our Relations we hope to gain more knowledge and insights inot the challenges we face and how to open up for new stories and new visions to emerge.
The main aim is to in connected effort work for a sustainable society of social justice, solidarity and equality as grounds for respect and nourishment for all living beings.
