The Library for

a Happy Future

The Library for a Happy Future aims to help strengthen our mindfulness and connection with nature. Together with communities around the world, we are engaging in a participatory research process that combines science, art and traditional knowledge. The focus is on water - sweet and salty - and its connection to the question of the good life, health and well-being.

From Ressource to Relationships

Too little or too much water in a short period of time is one of the most pressing impacts of climate change that will affect all areas of our lives. We need to refocus our agenda and ask ourselves where our priorities lie when it comes to water management, health and wellbeing. Where and how does this relationship matter? How could a holistic perspective change policy making, economic decisions and programmes for health and wellbeing in the community?

our library work?

A Library in the Making

The Library for a Happy Future is filled with the experiences and contributions of the people who create it.

 

Over the course of three months, we will be interviewing places about water and their vision of the good life. We are looking not only for what is working well, but also for places in need of healing or active improvement.

 

Listening to each other across interests and generations is essential.

Collaboration with Ateliers du futur

A shared goal

In 2024, we organise an edition in partnership with the Ateliers du Futur in the municipality of Vals (Grisons) and at the Natural History Museum Neuchâtel from April to the end of August and from September to the beginning of December. Colombia has been invited as a future partner in both editions and will be involved with reference to its indigenous science, tradition and culture. Further editions are being planned for 2025.
