” Curiosity and sensitivity towards the world have always guided me, leading me to choose a career in international cooperation. After experiences in faraway countries, I felt the urge to contribute, in my own small way, to my local community. With A Sud, I found a space where care and ecology come together in the fight for climate and social justice. Adventures nourish me and deep relationships with human and non-human beings are my source of healing. Theatre is my favourite form of expression. Martina LeighebProject Manager A SUD

” I am a gardener of possibilities, cultivating seeds of change in the fertile soil of collective imagination. My hands shape worlds where nature and humanity dance in harmony, where each blade of grass tells a story of resilience. As a storyteller and visionary, I paint frescoes of desirable futures with the vibrant colors of popular education. From classrooms to climate-focused third places, I sow ideas that will bloom tomorrow, nurturing a forest of hope in the heart of every learner. Anthony FoussardCo-FondateurCanopée

” Engineer turned change catalyst, I embarked on an adventure serving life. Mother of two, trainer, facilitator, designer, and committed councilor, I sow seeds of change at all levels. Like a future gardener, I cultivate everyone’s potential, be it individuals, organizations, or my children. My mission: guiding towards a sustainable and desirable future. Blending technical expertise, permaculture wisdom, and caring listening, I support those wishing to thrive in a transitioning world. Hélène Lionco-fondatriceCanopée

” As an explorer, I look for Buen Vivir “nuggets” in natural environments, lived places, popular cultures, human and non-human beings, with potential in themselves, but above all with the predisposition to connect with each other. I aim to bring them into resonance. In my explorations, I transform the project management tools into magic sticks that create links between my nuggets and enhance their value, creating more peaceful, convivial, supportive and inspiring territories and communities.

” Climate change, loss of biodiversity, destruction of ecosystems, depletion of natural resources are symptoms. If we want to stop the pain, we must treat the chronic diseases behind them. The diagnosis is clear: extractivism, financial speculation, productivism and consumerism. Can we cure ourselves of them? Of course, and if you know me, you also know the therapy I promote. It is The Buen Vivir! And the “natural” places for the materialization of Buen Vivir in our society are Third Places. Bogdan GioarăPresidentREPER21
