It serves as a platform for discussions on the impact of artificial intelligence on democratic societies.
Pluriversal Dialogues on Environmental Ethics: Decolonising Scientific Practice for Futures Beyond ‘Development’ # For these first pluriversal dialogues in Bonn we have invited ten researchers and practitioners from Latin America and three from Germany to share with us, on a practical basis, their experiences and approaches in intercultural and environmental research and education, community-led co-creation, and dialogical and transrational practices of knowing. We will bring different experiences and practices into dialogue in a series of workshops. Being traversed by long histories of coloniality and “development”, our encounters will revolve around constructing alternative, pluriversal futures that revalue systematically excluded living heritages. We intend to open a dialogue between “worlds”, a conversation to address the ontological, epistemological, methodological, ethical, and political challenges posed by this approach.
