From October 18 to 20, an International Congress on Relational Sustainability took place, promoted by EcoOne – New Humanity’s branch dedicated to the environment – and supported by the AFR.E.S.H Project. Together, participants rethought sustainable relationships between humanity and the environment, cultivating new ways to interconnect, communicate, and build a sustainable future. Sustainability begins with relationships: it involves creating meaningful connections with the world around us. Scholars, professionals, and engaged citizens explored how the natural and human sciences can converge to create a new cultural synthesis capable of integrating all perspectives of contemporary knowledge and culture.
