This is a 5 day event organised by the Open Academy of Caring Economics and OQ Consulting BV and Leapfrog2SD. It incorporates presentations, lectures, lively discussions & activities to shape the economies of the future. 

 

The places are limited as we aim to create a community-like atmosphere where everybody can voice their opinion and can be heard. We have invited speakers in several different fields who will tell us about the current economic paradigm, why it is unsustainable and how it will need to change in order to accommodate for a healthy planet and social communities.  

​

As part of the event the Award Winning film "Normal is Over" will be presented too. It talks about the challenges of the 21st century and the need for a paradigm shift towards sustainable thinking and living. The producer of the film Renée Scheltema will also be present to discuss the film and the concepts behind it.  

​

This is a dynamic event designed to bring clarity regarding the world we live in from an economic perspective and to spark discussion & creative thinking about the changes that need to be made in our thinking, working, living, consumption habits, use of resources - almost every aspect of human life.
