“Para establecer un entorno innovador se requiere: partir de la ignorancia + crear espacios para “pintar con trazo grueso” y levantar la mirada + hibridación y mezcla de actores y enfoques”

Translation: “To build an innovative environment you need: start from ignorance + create spaces to “paint in big strokes” and raise your regard + hibridization and mixture of actors and perspectives”

Joaquim Brugé Torruella, XIV Congreso AECPA – GT 5.7, 2019

“The most feasible way to bring about political change is not by pursuing a new ideology, but to alter cumulatively the organizational character of “the playing field”. The battle is not an ideational one, but using resources to construct a different network, to bring about a different civil and political milieu”.

Traducción: “La forma más factible de provocar cambio político no es buscando una nueva ideología, sino con la acumulación de alteraciones en el carcarácter organizativo del “campo de juego”. La lucha no es ideológica, sino usar los recursos disponibles para construir una red diferente, para crear un nuevo entorno civil y político”.
