Conclusion

This Manifesto is an invitation to be subversive for the good of humanity. It supports all current experiments by putting forth a guide containing key points to take into consideration.
We are aware of the complexity of the task of rethinking our civilizational matrix. Such a task has everything to gain if it relies on mobilizing collective intelligence and is aware of the conditions that must be respected, the warnings to consider, and the avenues to explore.

This Manifesto has therefore identified conditions and challenges. It proposes a reflection galvanized by action enriched by learning and development drawn from our history of resistance to injustice and avoidance of alienating solutions ; action defined by a new ecology of knowledge ; and finally, actions that test proposals for the future in terms of socio-ecological ethics and aesthetics.

To move in this direction, a federative and percolative pedagogy must be put in place, one that relies on dialogue, debate, and working in tension and conflict in order to build consensus, at the very least, and ultimately to alliances. This kind of pedagogy also implies defining a “no” to all forms of progress that are not deeply anchored in renouncing advantages and privileges provided by the modern developmental civilizational model, which has been universalized around the world.

This Manifesto has partially answered a number of questions that remain unresolved and will have to stay that way. Complementary work is required to polish as much the reflection process as the pedagogical one, as well as the mobilization strategy. Some thought is also required to ensure the Manifesto is well distributed and continues to be developed through collective reflection that results from testing its impact on various affected publics.
