Podcast “2040 j’y vais!” #20 – governing together, despite our disagreements
How can we reinvent democracy in a polarizing world? How can we respond to the challenges of our time, with strength and inspiration, when our opinions diverge?
The “2040, j’y vais” podcast is proposed by Chantal Peyer. It’s a place to listen to the sound of the forest growing, rather than the well-documented sound of the tree falling. Chantal Peyer takes the microphone to inspiring people who, through their stance, their vision and their commitment, are helping to build the Suisse Romande of tomorrow. She gives voice to the analyses, projects and ideas that serve this new paradigm of finite growth in a finite world, and that speak of the interdependence of human beings with the rest of the living world.
