What will our next stops be? Where will the road take us now? Hard to say, but we more or less know in which direction. After having experienced all this diversity, these realities, and these citizen resistances, here we are walking a tightrope pulled between responsibility and enchantment. On the responsibility side, we hope to contribute to join the efforts and paths broken by thousands of innovators in their practices and ways of thinking. As regards designing strategies for change, there is much difficult work to accomplish to move from a sum of initiatives to systemic transformations for each of the challenges of the Agenda for the Twenty-first Century. On the enchantment side, we can only continue to experience time, the world, others, and ourselves with the same wonder and disinterestedness as those the journey has taught us. So do we have any other choice, really, than to set ourselves in motion and continue to wander??
Happy travelling to all, on your own roads and pathways!!
