Events will take place across the world on 20th June 2012 to mark the first day of Rio+20, the UN conference marking the 20th anniversary of the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
Cultivate is organising an event in Dublin City Hall, Dame Street, where Tom Crompton, head of strategy at the World Wildlife Fund and co-author of Common Cause, will ignite a conversation about cultural values and how we frame our messaging. This will be of interest to anyone who is interested in how we can work better together, or how to more effectively communicate the issues.
The session, which will take place from 14.00 – 17.00, will showcase breakthrough ideas and bring together a diverse group of stakeholders to explore our understanding of cultural values and consider how we can best collaborate to achieve the future we want.
- Breakthrough Ideas for the Future We Want Short presentations on projects, technologies, and business ideas that represent cutting-edge innovation, collaboration and sustainability in the transport, building, food, and community sector
- Conversation Provocation by Tom Crompton, co-author of ‘Common Cause: The Case for Working with our Cultural Values’. Tom will give a short presentation on the importance of cultural values in driving change, and at the ways those values are shaped. This understanding reveals a major connection between a vast array of major issues – sustainability, racism, human rights, community welfare, climate change, youth and older people exclusion and biodiversity loss.
- Intergenerational Conversations for the Future We Want Using an interactive, positive and engaging format this session will bring representatives from government, local authorities, business, civil society, NGOs and communities as well as older and younger people together to examine values more closely and to explore opportunities to bring about lasting, systemic change.
