International symposium organized by CERAS at UNESCO from 20 to 22 May 2019 .

Following the symposium "Inequalities in the face of the ecological challenge" in 2017, the CERAS team is organizing a major international symposium at UNESCO from 20 to 22 May, in partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO), on the occasion of its centenary.

The environmental emergency, as well as the acceleration of technologies and virtualization, call into question the reality of the work. How can we promote decent work for all as required by the Church's social thinking, without destroying our common home, the earth? The themes addressed are multiple: the double punishment of workers exploited in polluted environments, new solidarity-based economies, the social and environmental responsibility of companies, the emergence of robotic work, care work, the role of religions, social and ecological protection, the principle of capillarity versus that of runoff, etc.

Will speak during the plenary sessions (which can be registered separately): David GRAEBER on "useful" activities (London School of Economics), Vandana SHIVA on the link between social suffering and environmental destruction (Indian activist), Gaël GIRAUD (CNRS) and Yves CLOT (CNAM) on future work issues, Pierre-Michel MENGER (Collège de France) and Eloi LAURENT (OFCE) on the transformation of work, Bishop Jorge LUGONES (Social Pastoral Care in Argentina and close friend of Pope François) and Bishop Bruno-Marie DUFFE (Dicastery for the promotion of integral human development) on the meaning of work worthy of humanity and the earth...

The CERAS team and its partners will be very happy to meet you at this conference.

The detailed programme and registration are available on the website:
