Want to rediscover the joy of action, despite the challenges ahead?   <br\/>Le Hub des possibles offers inspirational conferences for companies, organizations and associations wishing to open up spaces for collective reflection and nurture a posture of lucid optimism.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>Our conferences invite us to take a fresh look at the times we live in. They provide a lucid diagnosis of the ecological, social and human issues at stake, while opening up meaningful perspectives for action. The aim is not only to understand the crises, but also to explore how to rediscover the joy and power to act, individually and collectively.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>Indeed, in the current context, a feeling of powerlessness can overtake us: international law, cooperation and respect for living things often seem to go unheard in spheres of power, public discourse and the media. Sustainability policies are called into question, despite the fact that plant limits have been exceeded. But if we stop at this observation alone, lucidity can become a trap. It can fuel anxiety and paralysis, fear and denial, or even anger that leads to action &#8211; certainly &#8211; but not always the most just or effective.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Clear-sighted optimism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>This is where lucid optimism comes in. By lucid optimism, at the Hub of possibilities, we mean neither naivety nor denial, but a demanding, committed stance. This posture invites us to :  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Remember that what is lacking today is not information <\/em>&#8211; we are saturated with it &#8211; but visions of the future capable of reopening the field of the possible.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Recognize that the future is not written.<\/em>  Any projection of the future is a fiction. The question then becomes: what fiction do we want to support? What direction do we want our collective commitment to take?    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Admit that the future depends on our individual and collective choices<\/em>. The future is made. This means cultivating the courage of commitment, even when we&#8217;re only a minority defending a different future. But here&#8217;s the good news: even if you&#8217;re part of a minority, you&#8217;re not alone, nor are you powerless &#8230;. because change has always started with a minority.    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Choosing to pay attention to the weak signals of change,<\/em> here and now. Because what we pay attention to exists, is reinforced and spread. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>A central theme of our work concerns <strong>desirable futures<\/strong>. Rather than suffering the future or limiting ourselves to anxiety-provoking scenarios, we help participants imagine credible, desirable futures aligned with planetary limits and fundamental human needs.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>A second major focus concerns <strong>new narratives<\/strong>. We are convinced that the transition will not be achieved by technical or regulatory solutions alone, but also by stories capable of mobilizing, connecting and inspiring. Today&#8217;s dominant narratives often hinder action or foster a sense of powerlessness. Our conferences talk about the importance of building and embodying new narratives, anchored in reality, that inspire action and facilitate the commitment of teams and stakeholders.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>The Hub des possibles conferences are designed to be both structured and lively, alternating contributions, inspiring examples and time for participation. They can be adapted to different contexts: internal events, strategy days, seminars, public conferences or inter-organizational meetings. Their aim is to create a space for breathing, taking stock and getting moving, to reinforce the courage to act and the ability to lead others towards a fairer, more sustainable future.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Want to find out more?<\/strong> <br\/><\/p>\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t hesitate to contact us at: info@hubdespossibles.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conferences to (re)inspire people to look to the future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4433,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-2672","activites-hub","type-activites-hub","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>INSPIRATIONAL CONFERENCES - DESIRABLE FUTURES AND NEW NARRATIVES - Hub Des Possibles<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"INSPIRATIONAL CONFERENCES - DESIRABLE FUTURES AND NEW NARRATIVES - Hub Des Possibles\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Conferences to (re)inspire people to look to the future\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Hub Des Possibles\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-04-22T06:39:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elephant-sur-larbre-coupe-1-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1471\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/\",\"name\":\"INSPIRATIONAL CONFERENCES - DESIRABLE FUTURES AND NEW NARRATIVES - Hub Des Possibles\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elephant-sur-larbre-coupe-1-scaled.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-09-07T07:00:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-04-22T06:39:45+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elephant-sur-larbre-coupe-1-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elephant-sur-larbre-coupe-1-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2560,\"height\":1471,\"caption\":\"613051322\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/activites-hub\/conferences\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Accueil\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/hubdespossibles.org\/en\/home\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"INSPIRATIONAL CONFERENCES &#8211;
