« Happy Gov Day : Demographic pressure, ecological exhaustion of the planet, new technologies : the world had entered into an unprecedented transition phase on the scale of the human history. Yet we fear that metamorphosis or we feel like exploring it like a new terra incognita, it imposes on our societies which it is already weaving the future.  It is therefore essential to get involved without delay to write together the best of the possible futures. That’s the reason why I’ve chosen to take part in Happy Gov Day ! »
