About the Connectathon:

The Connectathon is a biannual “24 HR for Humanity” gathering connected to the Equinox  where people of good will and curious minds from all over the world meet to connect and speak about the future we want to live into. 

1. We gather and hold space for 24 hours to connect with ourselves, with each other, with our past and with the world. 
2. We explore who we are, where we are and, above all, start creating the story of who we want to be and where we want to go as a species and a civilisation.
3. We take the insights and the new connections we make and create plans of action between here and the next gathering.

Question to explore and discuss: “Can leadership exist without a leader?”

Participants: 

• Vladimir Huba Aradi (Project Developer and Coordinator, Ecocivilisation Seerbia);
• Rajni Vohra (Founder – WahWoman | Board Member|, curator Ecocivilisation);
• Gabrielle Marcelja (Entrepreneur – Building the Businesses of the Future);

• Violeta Bulc (founder and curator of Ecocivilisation), G100 Global Chair);

Leads for the discussion: 

1. If no one is in charge, who is responsible?
2. Can power circulate without being accumulated?
3. Are we co-leading to distribute power — or to avoid the discomfort of authority?
4. What happens to co-leadership when fear enters the room?
5. Is co-leadership possible without inner leadership?

Question to explore and discuss: “Are we growing food or commodities?”

Participants:

• Dr Ingrid Epezagne, Agribusiness Incubation Expert and Advocate for Women Empowerment, Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
• Mr Malik Jahan Zeb, a progressive farmer from Multan, Pakistan, who has his own radio show on agriculture
• Dr Rislan Kanya, CEO and Founder of the Centre for Climate Smart Farming, Cosmopolitan University, Abuja, Nigeria
• Dr. Bui Chuc Ly. Rural development specialist focusing on sustainable agriculture, agroecology, rice-based farming systems and gender equality in the Mekong Delta, Can Tho, Vietnam.
• Moderator: Prof Jeff Camkin, Adj. Prof (Water Resource Management), Institute of Agriculture, University of Western Australia

Leads for the discussion: 

1. Is modern agriculture feeding humanity, or feeding financial abstractions?
2. Can soil be treated as a living being and still fit inside our economic logic?
3. If agriculture destroys ecosystems but maximises calories, is it still agriculture—or a form of mining?
4. Why do we measure agricultural success in tonnes, not in resilience?
5. Who owns the right to regenerate life?
   

March 22^nd, at 11:00 UTC / 12:00 CET
Question to explore and discuss: “Is AI winning?”

Participants:

• Arti Ahluwalia (United Nations Representative – Coordinator of Publications UN Commons Cluster NGO Major Group, Ecocivilisation India);
• Stefan Blachfellner ( #seniorlecturer #global #knowledg, curator of Ecocivilisation);
• Violeta Bulc (founder and curator of Ecocivilisation), G100 Global Chair);

Leads for the discussion: 

1. Who is AI allowed to make obsolete — and who is protected?
   This exposes power, class, and whose intelligence is considered disposable.
2. If AI reflects us, what part of humanity are we training it to become dominant?
   Efficiency? Control? Care? Curiosity? Fear?
3. Do we want AI to replace human judgment — or to make us accountable for it?
   Very different design choices.
4. What happens when AI becomes better at coordination than humans?
   Not intelligence — coordination. That’s where systems really shift.
5. Is AI being trained to serve life — or to optimise extraction?
   This mirrors the agriculture question almost perfectly.
