- Friday 26 September
What if we, right now, unleash our imagination, and do everything we possibly can to move from climate and ecological breakdown to a future where people are thriving in balance with Earths life support systems?
There are an infinite number of possible futures that lie ahead —like threads stretching out into the distance. Some descending into darkness, others stretching towards the light.
Join a crew of seasoned, time-traveling imagination activists as they guide us toward futures worth living for.
Kate Raworth will set our course with a compelling vision of a future worth aiming for. Rob Hopkins will crank our cynicism suspenders and help us fall in love with the future. Jacob Rask will take us on a journey through time to unearth the seeds of a flourishing future in the places of the past. And Phoebe Tickell will boost our moral imaginations, and steer the panel safely back to the present.
