Doughnut economics will be presented by Leonardo Conte (PhD student at the University of Fribourg). The concept of the doughnut is about an economy which puts human needs at the center and takes into account the planetary boundaries. Following this presentation, the social enterprise FRüTILE against food waste will be presented by Karin Mader (president of FRüTILE) and Delphine Rey (team member of FRüTILE).
This is a bilingual event. The doughnut economics part will be in English and the presentation of FRüTILE will be in French. This is a joint collaboration between the sustainability week organizers of the University of Fribourg and Friends of Rethinking Economics Switzerland.

Hotel Bern, Zeughausstrasse 9, Bern
As part of the sponsorship, we are pleased to announce the following panel discussion:
Climate, Corona, wars: one crisis follows the next, while we find ourselves in an ominous maelstrom of profit and competition. How can we overcome all this? How do we orient the economy towards the common good and ecological requirements? What is the role of a consistent redistribution of wealth and a revolutionary renewal of the public service?
How do the two concepts differ and complement each other? What impulses do they generate? A short introduction will be followed by a discussion with the panelists.
From a pluralist perspective, it is interesting to see to what extent these two concepts, which have a different starting point, stimulate and enrich each other.
We look forward to seeing you all there and that our experiences, questions and critique can lead to a fruitful discussion with the panelists.
Katherine Trebeck, is co-founder of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance, which brings together 350 NGOs worldwide. The Alliance wants a society built on the meaningful, common good participation of all. Their concepts are incorporated into the current government programs of Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, Iceland, Wales and Finland.
Cédric Wermuth and Beat Ringger, are the co-authors of the book “Die Service public Revolution”. They want to drastically redistribute the world’s wealth and use it to build a care society based on broad-based public services.

Join us for a fun and short introduction to plural economics. We will cover a few of the most important theories and we will try them out ourselves! This hands-on (or maybe heads-on?) will leave you with an idea of how different economic theories can enrich our understanding of economics! This is open to anyone, from a perfect newbie to anyone who would like to go back to basics as a refresher.
It will take place on October 16th, between 14:00-15:00, on Zoom. More details will follow via e-mail. (So it is worth signing up! 😉 )
Join us for our National Gathering 2021!
Save the date to make sure that you will be able to join us.
