• Break-Out Session 1: A Deep Dive Workshop on Moral Imagination Activism

  The vast majority of our challenges are not resource problems, but imagination problems. What if our perception and imagination is a muscle that can be flexed to change the way we see, think and act? Phoebe Tickell guides you in an interactive session where you will learn to open you imagination potential and start building the commitment and skills towards that.

  Moral Imaginations is an imagination-based pedagogy to shift worldviews and deeply held narratives, connect to pre-existing intrinsic values, expand identity and foster connectedness. Imagination is used to confront and disrupt deeply held beliefs about what is possible, how change happens, and the role we can play in shifting paradigms.

• Break-Out Session 2: Ecosystem Play: Unlocking the Power of Collaboration and Technology

  As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, creating value in a sustainable future will require not only innovative approaches to collaboration but also a strong commitment to adaptability and technology. We must move beyond focusing solely on our own business models and embrace ecosystem thinking to effectively navigate the complexities of the future. 

  Building cross-sector partnerships, leveraging emerging technologies, and prioritizing inclusive and ethical practices will be crucial for creating a future that is both sustainable and equitable for all.

  This breakout session is linked to the Action for Innovation initiative—a collaborative program led by Sustainability HUB in partnership with Capgemini, designed to help organizations and leaders deepen their understanding of sustainability-driven innovation and define concrete actions.

  Join us for a fun and interactive session where we will explore the powerful tool of ecosystem play!
