Dear all,
the term CARE has become something of a buzzword across different contexts in the last decade—ostensibly as a response to the global interlinked crises underway and systemic failures to mitigate or even address them.
In our upcoming Online Colloquium, we invite you to explore what care is, or should be, in an integral perspective, taking into account its complex nature and limitations posed by socio-political contexts, institutional constraints, and social imaginaries:
Next IFIS Online Colloquium:
Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2026, 20.00-22.00 h CET, Zoom
Presenter: Krini Kafiris, Transnational Institute of Social Ecology
Topic: Building Social Ecological Cultures of Care
Details
During the colloquium, Krini Kafiris will discuss a social ecological approach to care, defining it in terms of the interconnectedness of individuals, groups, communities and the ecosystem. Building cultures of care is conceptualised as deepening the connections necessary for individuals, groups, communities and the ecosystem to flourish, within contexts of limitation and constraints. This approach draws on foundational social ecological, ecosystemic and feminist concepts, as well as the practices of sustainable organising and her own experiences in this as an educator.
Presenter
Krini Kafiris is an educator, activist and researcher in sustainable organising, gender issues and social ecology. She focuses on reflective and creative practices in building cultures of care and sustainable organising. She founded Sympoiesis, which provides workshops, mentoring and consulting in these areas, is a member of the Transnational Institute of Social Ecology and co-founder of Radical Institute, a transnational programme for sustainable organising, collaborating and mentoring in the arts.
