This conference is an opportunity to get inspired and maybe to find about new ideas of how reach change. Organized by IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) supported by the CSCP and others, the conference offers participants the chance to meet face to face 10 Alternative Nobel Prize laureates, who have paved the way for many influential social movements and who truly are “creators of our future”. Thematically issues ranging from „Biodiversity versus Monotony“ to “The Political Agenda for the Paradigm Shift“ will be discussed.

Participating Alternative Nobel Prize laureates are among others Vandana Shiva (India), Taeko Ogiwara and Ikuko Sasaki (Seikatsu Club Consumers Cooperative Union, Japan), Melaku Worede (Ethiopia) and Pat Mooney (Canada). Other personalities who fight for a sustainable future will also participate in the parallel sessions.
