This first key session presents how re^N will operate in this new phase and the role its participation platform will play in delivering the Circular Roadmap. It focuses on the mechanisms that will help identify capabilities, connect stakeholders and turn shared interests into concrete collaborations and initiatives.

Building a community involves much more than bringing people and organisations together in the same space. Through a conversation with international leaders in community building and systems transformation, we explore what it takes to move from dispersed stakeholders to a connected community, and from a reference platform to a useful, dynamic space with lasting collective momentum.

   • Ladeja Godina Košir, Founder and Executive Director, Circular Change
   • Fiona Macklin, Head of Climate, Apolitical
   • Carlota Sanz Ruiz, Co-founder and Executive Director, Doughnut Economics Action Lab

We focus on how a place-based experience can gain robustness, visibility and the capacity to become a reference for other regions. Drawing on local, national and international perspectives, we explore what the Balearic Islands need to position their circular transition as a model that others can learn from and replicate, grounded in real cases, evidence, partnerships and transferability.

A community gains transformative capacity when its members stop being merely recipients of information and begin engaging in challenges, partnerships, projects and shared solutions. Through an inspiring keynote, this session explores the conditions needed to mobilise complex ecosystems and turn a shared ambition into initiatives capable of influencing value chains.
