BlueCity

A world where we no longer systematically cross planetary boundaries. A world where biodiversity and all that is more-than-human can grow, bloom, and buzz. A world where our connections with each other, with life, and with the Earth are central. On March 21, during the Week of the Circular Economy, the LDE Centre for Sustainability will take you to this regenerative future with a workshop and talk at BlueCity.This event is organized by <a href="https://www.centre-for-sustainability.nl/home" title="https://www.centre-for-sustainability.nl/home" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">LDE Center for Sustainability</a> Endless growth and progress, human centrality, were long considered a given. But it is high time to say goodbye to these promises of modernity. Our climate and biodiversity are at risk, political and social crises keep on arising. Reducing our footprint in the world while optimizing the existing, is no longer enough. We need innovative approaches that actively strive to restore the balance between humans and Earth. Regeneration.Workshop and Lecture Regeneration requires a change of mindset and values. On March 21, we will look through new, regenerative lenses. Bas van den Berg (The Hague University of Applied Sciences) and Lija and Rodolfo Groenewoud - van Vliet (In4Art) will guide you through ‘generative thinking’. They will explain how creative thinkers, artists, and designers can help overcome mental boundaries and show how we can think and innovate differently. Fotein Setaki (The New Raw) will share how he has applied this within his own company. Join the ‘Regenerative Lens’ Workshop. Meet experts working on a regenerative society. Be inspired by practical stories from artists and entrepreneurs in small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), who have worked together on just innovations.
