Values
Goods and values; economic and cultural values; modern and postmodern between ethics andeconomics;
Culture of wealth / culture of well-being
From welfare to the «economics of happiness»? Needs and histories;
Strategies
Out of poverty: growth or degrowth? Is there a global economy?
New poverties
Loss of memory, loss of beauty, loss of identities, loss of rights: towards the «bare life»?
Participants are invited to present their own proposals within the suggested fields of discussion, or to present different topics / panels (within the given general theme) bringing their own local experiences, views and inputs from different scientific fields in a transdisciplinary perspective (economics, social sciences, history, psychology, arts, cultural studies, political science… ).

Eligibility
The present call is addressed to young adults aged 18 to 35, without distinction as to nationality.

Costs
The selection of speakers will be based upon the assessment of the abstracts (quality level, originality, adherence to the Forum’s theme), the applicants’ profiles, the budget available. Therefore the organization will accept a number of participants based on the actual financial availability, thus reserving the right of rejecting exceeding requests. The Forum’s organization will provide a 4 nights accommodation (lodging only) for the speakers: check-in will be on October 1st, check-out on October 5th. The organization will contribute to the travel costs the selected speakers will have to sustain, for an amount that will not exceed 500 € per person. Given this threshold, the extent of the contribution will depend upon which party purchases the tickets.
