FROM FLINT TO FOOTPRINT
How to 'make' a sustainable society, how to learn from the past and how to get grip on rationales such life cycle assessments and footprints calculations? Is that possible at all?
Based on the conviction that the current questions that require solutions in our society today can be solved through collaboration and mutual understanding, guests and audience from various parties are explicitly brought together and invited: Designers & Makers (producers) , Users & Shakers (policymakers & trailblazers).
In public conversations at three pop-up locations, changes in our ecological, social and economic footprints are discussed by various stakeholders in the current footprint debates who all play a role in shaping the upcoming transitions.
The conversations are moderated by Ned Kaar.
SALON 1: Making
The first salon concentrates on the role of craft & production in low-carbon, sustainable futures.
Within global value chains, what has happened to the idea of a local market and local maker? What can practices rooted in history and local production teach us about sustainable practice and living in the present? How might a return to local production fare as a response to increased costs of transport and demands for traceability?
