The Earth Talks Back
In his book “The Hidden Wealth of Nations” and recent talk at the RSA, David Halpern of the Institute for Government explained…
“Much of this hidden wealth [of nations] is expressed in everyday ways, such as our common values, the way we look after our children and elderly, or whether we trust and help strangers. It is a hidden dimension of inequality, and helps to explain why governments have found it so hard to reduce gaps in society. There are also deep cracks in this hidden wealth, in the form of our rising fears of crime, immigration and terror.”
In this month’s Thinking Tank we will consider how this affects us and generate practical ideas we can use to heal the cracks.
Join this Thinking Tank if you are ready to face the challenge of creative thinking and brainstorm ideas to change the way we think about sustainability. What will be the best idea we can come up with?
Join us for this breakthrough approach to problem solving where we spend 40 minutes hammering out a serious issue—a Darwinian struggle of ideas, challenges and reasons not to bother.
On Thursday 18th we will brainstorm ways to talk about sustainable development to people who aren’t interested.
We need your opinion in this debate. What ideas do you have? This is your opportunity to be heard, to hear from others, and to become part of the solution—all from the comfort of your own laptop.
16.00-16.40, Thursday Feb 18
