Teenagers find themselves alone in dealing with the meaning of life surrounded by a decadent world, in a scenario in which the future of the "promised land" has become a threat. Uprooted from their past but with no ability to project themselves in any future, left without guidance, it is almost impossible for youngsters to find their own way, thus ending up groping in the dark of an eternal present, easy prey for the market and its mirages. An analysis of the psycho, social and cultural discomfort of the young generations will be conducted, scrutinizing this world through the lens of the degrowth theory, looking for alternative horizons, where the concept of utopia can resume its critical role in driving human cultural evolution.</p>1 aAillon, Jean-Louis1 aDal Santo, Postgraduate, student in  uhttps://degrowth.community/conference2014/scientific-papers/349801561nas a2200133   4500008004100000245007700041210006900118260001200187520105600199100002301255700004001278700004001318856006901358       2014                        eng d00a“Health and Degrowth”, a new paradigm in the field of sustainability0 aHealth and Degrowth a new paradigm in the field of sustainabilit  aLeipzig3 a<p>The current model of development is not compatible with protection and promotion of health of present and future generations. It is necessary to question and overturn the current economic system, implementing, both in health and generally, the degrowth theory. We will describe the paradigm of “Health and Degrowth” and propose four steps in order to achieve it, deriving from the application of the virtuous circle of eight R’s on health (S. Latouche). 1) Re-evaluation and reconceptualization of the ideas of health, illness and care. 2) Restructuring health services following the new health conceptualization, appropriateness, primary health care model (re-localization), independence from big stakeholders, a systemic, global and multidisciplinary approach. 3) Health promotion and prevention acting on socio-economic, environmental and cultural determinants of health. 4) Involvement of citizens and patients in health management. The experience of the new-born “Italian network for Health and sustainability” will be presented.</p>1 aAillon, Jean-Louis1 aDal Santo, Postgraduate, student in1 aDal Santo, Postgraduate, student in  uhttps://degrowth.community/conference2014/scientific-papers/3503
