A Shepherd Assembly

With the motto “Another Europe, Transformed by Shepherds” this event 95 organized by the Spanish artist Fernando García-Dory gathers sheep herders and farmers from several European countries in order to work towards the creation of a European Shepherds Network, an organization that would give this community a voice and make it visible. The assembly discusses the issues of contemporary pastoralism, the actions of shepherds and their relation to public opinion and to their animals, and includes the screening of a documentary recounting the journey of German shepherds from Berlin and Brussels to Trier. However, the assembly hopes to go beyond discussion to take a real step forward in the action plan of the European Shepherds Network.
