Founded in 2003, the Traversées association was inspired on the work of the Alliance towards a Responsible, Plural and United World and the World Citizens’ Assembly (in 2001). It was born from the idea that new connections between individual development and collective transformation are required in order to build a sustainable world based on solidarity. Since 2008, its work revolves around three focal points: participation in the emergence of new political and citizens’ spaces, locally and moving towards the global sphere; use of different methodologies in following up initiatives that prompt new answers and alternatives in education, sustainability and governance; and communication aimed at supporting citizens’ actions.
