From Flint to Footprint 3: Breaking

FROM FLINT TO FOOTPRINT

How to 'make' a sustainable society, how to learn from the past and how to get grip on rationales such life cycle assessments and footprints calculations? Is that possible at all? Based on the conviction that the current questions that require solutions in our society today can be solved through collaboration and mutual understanding, guests and audience from various parties are explicitly brought together and invited: Designers & Makers (producers) , Users & Shakers (policymakers & trailblazers). In public conversations at three pop-up locations, changes in our ecological, social and economic footprints are discussed by various stakeholders in the current footprint debates who all play a role in shaping the upcoming transitions. The conversations are moderated by Ned Kaar.

SALON 3: Breaking

The third and final salon looks at the breakdown economy and the challenges facing the world if sustainability goals are not achieved. If we have reached an ecological breaking point, what might exist ahead of us within the fields of design, production and living? What new systems might we expect to emerge? How might a refocusing upon ideas of health and wellness influence our understanding of present attitudes towards sustainable and regenerative practice?
