What to expect:
- 17:45 - 18:00: Attendees arrive.
- 18:00 - 18:10: Greetings and introduction
- 18:10 - 19:00: Luca Michaletzky - Local communities as engines of systemic change
How can city neighborhoods drive deep systemic change, and how can local communities build social resilience that weaves a stronger safety net for everyone? In this workshop, we’ll introduce Joanna Macy’s idea of The Great Turning and explore why sustainability alone isn’t enough. Through discussion and small-group brainstorming, we’ll cover how to find your passion or mission and turn it into community action. What practical projects can urban dwellers start? More importantly, why should they do it, and how can they facilitate the change? By the end, you’ll walk away with inspiring questions and concrete ideas for action in your own community. - 19:00 - 20:00: Mingling
Have thought-provoking conversations and exchange ideas with other community members on the topic of sustainability. Drinks and snacks included!
This event's speaker is Luca Michaletzky, ecopsychologist:
