Next Monday, 2 September, at 16.00, ISEG-Lisbon School of Economics and Management, Universidade de Lisboa, will be showing 'Water is Love: Ripples of Regeneration ', a documentary about the power of regenerating water cycles.
This special film screening is an integral part of the activities of the Global Goals Awareness Week, promoted by ISEG's Masters in Management (MiM). The objective is to raise awareness of the critical issues of water sustainability and regeneration, as well as to inspire students to reflect on complex environmental challenges and to consider creating companies or other forms of economic organisation, such as cooperatives, associations, and foundations, all of which act in defence of sustainability.
The screening will include a discussion with the the participation of one of the film's directors, Isabel Rosa, which will be a unique moment for those attending.
The entire ISEG community and residents of the Estrela Parish Council are invited to take part in this important initiative.
This is yet another demonstration of ISEG's commitment to promoting environmental sustainability and encouraging the next generation of leaders to make a difference in the world.
The event will take place in Auditorium 5 (ISEG, New Quelhas).
Free admission, subject to prior registration on this LINK.
Synopsis:
"Water is Love" follows a group of young people struggling with the climate crisis, as we travel the world to share inspiring stories of regenerative ecosystem models to create rainwater retention in communities, villages and regions.
In this documentary, we look at traditional ecological knowledge, how water creates the climate and the importance of restoring complete water cycles.
Through inspiring stories of successful projects in India, Kenya and Portugal, we aim to spark conversations and actions that contribute to a regenerative and resilient world. As we face the growing and devastating impacts of climate disruption, this film points to an often overlooked need and possibility: community-driven decentralized water management as a fundamental key to surviving - and thriving - in this century.
To mark the start of the 2024/2025 Academic Year, CEsA - Centre for African and Development Studies (CSG/ISEG/ULisboa) will welcome the new students of the Masters in Development and International Cooperation (MDCI) with a Cine Debate and screening of the documentary A Place Once Called Home, on 18th September, at 18.00.
After the screening of the documentary there will be a debate with Professor Olayinka Ajala (Leeds Beckett University), Susana Brissos (ISEG-ULisboa), professor of the Masters in Development and International Cooperation, and CEsA researchers and PhD students in Development Studies, Cosmas Ba-Ana-Itenebe (ISEG-ULisboa) and Sílvia Amaral (ISEG-ULisboa).
