Visioning the Future with Rob Hopkins, Jane Davidson & Gillian Burke

In this highly thought-provoking talk, Hopkins, Davidson and Burke explore the place of imagination & stories in the birth of a new world. Rob Hopkins, environmental activist and writer, discusses research on the steady and persistent decline of our imagination, linked to the loss of a culture of play, less time spent in nature and anxiety, stress and trauma. He touches on the lack of imagination in today’s politicians and explores what the imagination actually is and the ways in which we can feed it to bring about the changes we want to see in the world. He also shares with us the importance of asking what if - allowing us to imagine progress. Jane Davidson, former Labour politician and minister for the environment in Wales & Gillian Burke, natural history TV producer and presenter of the BBC’s nature series Springwatch, share their experiences and wisdom as well as their visions for the world they want to live in by 2030. They go on to share ideas about how we can bring those visions to life to create the world we want to see.
