Events open to the public

The General Assembly on Thursday 23 and Friday 24 of September 2021 aims to bring together players in the mountain ecosystem to co-build sustainable future solutions for our territories.

An online platform will enable remote participation in all events. A tool will be available to freely browse, interact and manage your visitor experience.

View the modules designed to implement the transition in our mountain territories:

• Round table discussions & conferences: alternating dynamic presentations from elected officials from territories in transition, with presentations from scientific experts to raise awareness and understanding of the challenges, taking inspiration from efforts elsewhere to open the debate and nourish individual reflection.
• Initiatives village: discover fifty or so inspiring transition initiatives selected from France and Europe, and contribute to raising awareness of the extensive initiatives that already exist.
• Live discussions with initiative sponsors are scheduled for 24 September, 11 am to 12.30 pm. Three 30-minute sessions will enable you to speak directly with the sponsors of three projects of most interest to you from the 50 proposed.
• Topical workshops: To go further on certain topics relating to the transition of tourism and be inspired by firm actions, six workshop-conferences are being held! Firstly, this module is proposed in parallel to local workshops for participants not associated with a given territory. Subsequently, these workshop-conferences will be accessible for later viewing on the General Assembly platform.
• Partner conferences: The General Assembly on the transition of mountain tourism gathers many players in the mountain ecosystem. These partner conferences give the floor to these players to showcase their projects relating to the transition of mountain tourism.
• Partner village and exhibitor booths: wander freely from one space to another, meeting mountain enthusiasts, enjoy priority access to a wide range of media resources, inquiries, presentations, etc. Learn more about the topics that matter to you! A space to promote networking and relationships.

You can create a custom profile and develop your own visitor experience. Furthermore, chat windows will enable you to communicate directly with the organisers, speakers or participants of your choice.

Local workshops: stirring a territory into action

Local workshops take place at the same time in person on the afternoons of the 23rd and 24th September, in around thirty mountain areas for the most part located in the Alpine region and in other French mountain regions, such as the Massif Central, the Pyrénées, and Jura.
They aim to bring together and enable joint projects between players in the same territory to deal with different transition challenges, develop synergies and create a desire to take firm action for a desirable future. They are characterised by extensive diversity in the organising members and the representative nature of the mountain ecosystem amongst participants.
To foster dialogue and discussion, these workshops are limited to around thirty participants present in person (if any applicable health restrictions permit).
The recordings will be available on the platform and our website!

Virtual initiatives village

The initiatives village features 50 inspirational initiatives from French and European mountain regions, selected based on identical criteria. The aim of the General Assembly is to bring people together, so this virtual village is inspirational for all players: citizens, natural space administrators, businesses, institutions, etc. Our ambition is to showcase existing initiatives, develop synergy and contribute to greater awareness of transition possibilities in our mountain territories.

A chart and topical filters will guide you seamlessly through the initiatives. An excellent opportunity for live dialogue is scheduled for Friday 24th, 11 am to 12.30 pm. On this day, 30-minute slots are available for you to meet and share with three initiative sponsors. Once you are registered on the platform, select your preferred three from the initiatives exhibited!
