The main impediments are a lack of political will to reform&nbsp;a global institutional order that produces foreseeable yet avoidable power asymmetries. Whereas on our side, it is potentially experiences of disempowerment and\/or the lack of solidarity,&nbsp;which influence&nbsp;our abilities to imagine&nbsp;a just world and to dare enough to play the role of change-makers.<\/p>\n<p>This is an interdisciplinary, inquiry-driven gathering with the main focus on bringing people together to share ideas in a convivial&nbsp;environment. We hope to explore what kind of alternative questions, concepts, methods and practices are necessary to address these complex challenges of our time.<\/p>\n<p>It is in this spirit that we invite contributions from practitioners and researchers to share your insights, practices&nbsp;and experiences relating to programmes, policies and studies that address issues of social (in)justice and (in)equality locally and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about the conference: <a href=\"http:\/\/buildingbridges.us14.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=17ecf106d5b6840e9817cd442&amp;id=8656eb415c&amp;e=e1ad8f3243\"><strong>www.buildingbridges.uk.com&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6-8 July, 2017 Crete, Greece A RADICALLY DIFFERENT KIND OF CONFERENCE&nbsp; We are a network of academics and practitioners motivated by our work experiences inside and outside of Europe.&nbsp;With this being the first conference, we are hoping to turn this into an annual gathering to build bridges on three different levels: between theorists and practitioners, between people from different disciplines and between people from different parts of the world.
