PODCAST "2040 J'Y VAIS!

The “2040, j’y vais” podcast is a place to listen to the sound of the forest growing, rather than the well-documented sound of the tree falling. The podcast takes the microphone to inspiring people who, through their attitude, vision and commitment, are helping to build the French-speaking Switzerland of tomorrow. We give 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.

“2040 j’y vais!” is the podcast for lucid optimists: lucidity, to make a clear and rigorous diagnosis of the current situation, and optimism, to sustain the collective impetus to undertake change.
So…. Welcome to 2040!

Lucid optimism: the key to 2026?

At the Hub of Possibilities, in 2026, we invite you to open your eyes to everything that’s emerging. To everything that nurtures dialogue, democracy, the rule of law, the regenerative economy and innovation for the common good. We invite you to pay more attention to your sphere of influence, and to take concrete, step-by-step steps towards building tomorrow’s world. For even if those who practice violence, contempt for others and predation take center stage, they do not have a monopoly on imagination and action.
