This participatory gathering explores the intersections of culture, care and ecological transition through workshops, panel discussions, artistic interventions and co-creative processes. Organised by Vert le Futur, art-werk and SIPI, it examines exemplary tools, projects and approaches for environmental, social and economic sustainability while identifying gaps and urgent questions. The session bridges disciplines and networks to make knowledge and resources more visible and to collectively define challenges, priorities and possible pathways for action across regional and national cultural ecosystems.

Dr Sylvain De Lucia, Chef de Clinique at HUG; Dre Martine Bideau, pediatrician; Dre Cécile Ryser, child psychiatrist; and Prof. Johanna Sommer, head of the Cursus Planétaire, bring clinical and educational expertise in planetary health.

Sessions examine how climate disruption and pollution affect population and child health, investigate eco-anxiety and eco-skepticism, and explore practical levers: food, mobility, nature contact and digital management that improve health while reducing environmental impact. A roundtable and participatory workshops discuss determinants of health and collective engagement.
