Greece: Transforming crisis to krisis. Part 2 Τhe Festival4sce: a hub of networks towards the Alternative Route
Crisis. Originally, the word derives from the ancient Greek verb “krinein”, meaning to judge in order to take a decision and its noun, “krisis”, meaning judgment, decision. According to Steven James Venette1 “crisis is a process of transformation where the old system can no longer be maintained.”
In Greece, the obsessive persistence of the ruling elites in rescuing by any means the current socioeconomic system, even during its long phase of death rattle, has fueled a significant social mobilization towards the Alternative Route, striving to transform crisis to krisis. Several citizen initiatives and grassroots groups organize, since 2012, the Festival for Solidarity and Cooperative Economy (#Festival4sce) seeking to build the foundations of another world that is not only possible, but already growing.
