The Bassetti Foundation is pleased to announce its participation in and support of the Integrated Network for Social Sustainability (INSS) Digital media competition “Visions of Social Sustainability”.

The overall goal of the INSS network is to produce a clearer, more applicable definition of social sustainability, and to create opportunities for engaging colleagues, industries, and the broader public in discussions about social sustainability. The network is made up of individuals from various jobs and professions to consider social sustainability, and aims to put those engaging with social sustainability in dialogue with one another to accelerate the rate at which we can all understand this important aspect of sustainability more fully.

The competition is looking for creative explorations of what social sustainability means, how it is being pursued, and how it might be advanced further. The hope is that it will push forward discussion of social sustainability by bringing a broader range of voices into the discussion.

CALL FOR ENTRIES

Multi-Media Competition: Visions of Social Sustainability
What does social sustainability mean to you? Where do you see it in practice? And what are the ingredients for a more sustainable world?

In the past several decades, sustainability has grown into an important and all-encompassing priority for communities and nations around the world. While there is little debate that current patterns of development, production, and consumption are un-sustainable, there is less agreement about what a sustainable world looks like.

There are countless visions of sustainability, and the Integrated Network for Social Sustainability is interested in your vision of social sustainability in a short video or digital media presentation.
