We are launching a series of debates, dedicated to imagining the concept of Ecocivilisation as a final destination of a common societal journey. This will be the 2nd webinar of the series on: 

Imagining the Ecocivilisation: I

Designing societies going circular

Christiaan Kraaijenhagen, Circulair Economy Entrepreneur & Innovation Strategist, at the Innovation Cooperative Innoboost and co-author of the book Circular Business: Collaborate and Circulate, will lay depart from imagining the Ecocivilisation through the concept of the five P’s, or five layers of our societal engagement: personal, private (or, family-related), professional, public, or societal, and planetary. From there he will engage participants to deduct potential scenarios for the business world and understand the benefits of such a re-design of the societal functioning, including, above all, the societal capacity of collaboration as a critical factor of the outcomes of this comprehensive trajectory.

Karin Huber Heim, Academic Programme Director, MSc Sustainability and Responsible Management at the University of Applied Sciences BFI Vienna will pick up on the sustainability angle of our societal functioning and will develop the vies on how to transform the SDGs into strategies at different systemic levels (the 5 P’s) and elaborate on different ways how we can introduce it in our daily lives of individuals, organisations and societies.

Violeta Bulc, former EU Commissioner for Transport, entrepreneur, manager, advisor, lecturer and author will contribute her reflections on this and provide a wrap up of the Part II.

The debate will last for about 75 minutes including the initial presentation of the concept, followed by comments and reflections from your side and other participants in the last 15 minutes (Q&A) of the session.

The webinars will take place via the ZOOM platform and will last for about 90 minutes.

Participation is free of charge

The subsequent webinar in this cycle will take place on 17th June 2020. You are welcome to join the Ecocivilisation movement! 

The event is co-financed by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal opportunities and the EU from the European Social fund.
