The other city - Public conference series

22nd of February 2012 - 23rd of May 2012




Event Description

WILCO is contributing to the series of conferences called “The other city”, aimed at bringing forward some of the hidden faces, often unknown and almost always ignored, of some European cities. This unknown side of the city includes the creative potential of alternative artistic expressions, to the presence of rural immigrants or the (unplanned) consequences of urban planning. By choosing a different venue in the city for each conference, the University will go out of its comfort zone (symbolically and physically) and establish a firsthand connection with these hidden faces.

Ultimately, the idea is to launch a discussion on the initiatives occurring on the margins that nonetheless have an enormous potential to innovate and surprise us. Composed of 10 sessions, including a final one to reflect on the key lessons learned, the series is jointly organized by the Department Sociology of the University of Geneva and the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva. The conferences will take place every Wednesday of spring 2012 from 18:15- 20:00, and each presentation will be followed by a discussion with the public.
Participation in all the events is free.

The conferences will be in French and English (see program).
