  • Transforming the Institution

  • The Covid-19 pandemic has increased the uncertainty of our lives, pointing up the serious disconnects between institutions, communities and everyday life. The population feels a distrust of the dynamics and processes that exist between these areas. Therefore, we start to talk about different institutional models.

    But what is a new institutional model? What is a transformational institutional process and dynamic?

    Faced with this challenge, we want to initiate a discussion of the following questions:

    • Can we think of a new institutional model? That is to say, can we think of an institutional model that, together with the three traditional arms of government and beyond traditional formulas of representation, guarantees public democratic control over state policy?
    • Through our institutional political practice and across the different levels (local/state/supranational), can we create a new structure?
    • At this special point in time, is community resilience not a key concept to meet major challenges and ensure the sustainability of life?

    The conference, organised by the Iratzar Foundation in cooperation with transform! europe and Parte Hartuz, takes place face-to-face in the Iratzar venue in Donostia/San Sebastián (Basque Country), and online via the YouTube channel of Iratzar Fundazion.
