On 21, 22 and 23 September 2026, the OVIE convention (“Osons vraiment l’écologie intégrale”, or “Let’s truly dare integral ecology”) brought together Icam learners, board members and staff around a shared goal: to reflect on the changes needed in the face of planetary boundaries and the major shifts our world is undergoing, and to collectively build a roadmap to support the institution’s ecological and social transitions. Three days of discussion, reflection and collaborative work to move from awareness to collective commitment.
