Schumacher College regularly hosts the most influential of speakers from around the world as part of its courses. In this satellite event, some of the College’s own faculty will be joined by distinguished visiting teachers to discuss the current situation of global sustainability. Themes will cover a wide range of thinking on development practice, Gaia theory, nature and culture and the role of education. The audience will be encouraged to participate in the discussions and, with the panel, establish some new parameters for both debate and action for now and the future.
