Our goal with the Procession of Transitions is to bridge the gap between the center city and the surrounding poor neighbourhoods of Marseille, engage its citizens as well as show all the initiatives towards sustainable CRFS transition that take place in underpriviledged neighbourghoods. This is also to show the vitality, innovation and engagement of people who are regularly looked down upon and not considered as engaged towards CRFS transition.
The Cortège des transitions will visit 7 priority neighborhoods in the city of Marseille over the winter to create encounters between Marseille residents and structures involved in social, ecological and food transitions.
━ A few examples of the structures that will be taking part in the project:
- les Paniers marseillais
- les Muses Urbaines

Taking place all across the winter, the Cortege is thought as a recurring event in order to reach as many citizens as possible, in their neighbourhoods. The real life channel of communication and engagement is an absolute necessity to reach the vast majority of the Marseille population who do not (or cannot) feel concerned about sustainable CRFS.
