While the first symposium offers systemic, discourse theoretical and inclusive regionalism perspectives on inclusion and diversity in organizing, the second symposium starts with alternative concepts like “green care” as an integral concept on social and societal change as well as solidarity economy and social inclusion (Haubenhofer et al 2012, Sempik et al 2010; Wiesinger et al 2013). These debates will be related to global and latin american reflections on developmental models, like presented by Acosta (2017) in the approach of “Buen Vivir”. In western approaches we find the critique of acceleration by Rosa (2013) and from there the formulated alternatives of resonance and wellbeing (Rosa et al 2014). Eastern alternative developmental models refer to debates of Happiness (Weber 2015). Like suggested in the Commons Approaches (Helfrich et al 2012), which per se claim for inclusiveness and relate to the collective responsibility (Ostrom 1990), these global debates of alternative developmental models of futures is relevant, too, for concepts of organizing, which are explored in the second symposium.

The first presentation, delivered by Susanne Elsen, Claudia Lintner, Edgardo Garrido Perez, Livio Biasia, Armin Bernhard, Ulrike Folie, of Bolzano, Italy, addresses “Options and challenges for social inclusion in the field of social agriculture”. The presentation refers to the inclusive and systemic character of new institutional arrangements in social and solidarity economy. As system innovations, solidarian economy comprises many fields. In this sense, social agriculture in several world regions is seen as potential to prevent rural depopulation, to stimulate repopulation of abandoned mountain areas or to foster social cohesion in rural communities (Haubendorfer, 2010). Additionally, regional socio-ecological circuits emerge and locals benefit directly from infrastructure development.

The second presentation provided by Maria Tascón and Susanne Maria Weber, Marburg, Germany brings in a transnational and intercultural perspectives on inclusion in organizing: The presentation discusses “Organizing Inclusion in spiritual epistemologies. La Universidad del “Buen Vivir” - First nations sustainability universities in Latin America”. While western concepts of inclusion or diversity relate to deceleration, wellbeing and social security, latin american cosmogony includes spiritual dimensions, which become relevant as a topic and as a practice for and in organizing and realizing Higher Education. The contribution discusses different organizational models of Latin American sustainability universities and their specific ways of addressing alternative – and inclusive - developmental paths into the future.

Thirdly, Christian Schroeder, Luxembourg, Luxemburg, and Mikko Laamanen, London, Great Britain in their contribution “Omnia sunt communia’ analyse the social practice of creating inclusive spaces for social and economic justice, social change and good organization. In ethnographic analysis they observe and reflect on the practice of organizing in commons-based movements and networking commons assemblies as inclusive spaces. Like this, the practice of collaboration of a wide range of actors including individuals, civil society actors, state authorities and private companies comes into sight and draws our attention on the practice of inclusion in organizing social and societal change.
