Movements
CRITS Student Symposium
April 19, 2022. 1:30 – 5:00 PM
Online on Zoom
Description: Movements are at the heart of social innovation. Social, collective and human movements. Movements of contestation, of transformation, but also of preservation and resistance. Anchored in the practice, the daily life, the imagination. Movements are sometimes displacements, undergone or wished, always heavy of consequences. Other times, they are adaptation; to new technologies, new social norms, to the pandemic context. Often, they are impulses towards others, attempts to get closer. The movements are multiple and complex; they attract, intrigue and, at the same time, invite us to pause and reflect.
The speakers at this conference will present the issues, challenges and possibilities of these movements, and invite you to share experiences, observations, reflections and critiques of these different movements with them.
The event is bilingual, French and English interpretation will be available.
