Event information
Our world is in a critical state: increasing inequality amidst the climate crisis and political instability. We believe that a new economic system based on justice, redistribution, and regeneration is necessary. To bring about radical change, we must first unlearn many things, especially our relationship with money, power, other people, and ourselves. In order to break with old beliefs and thus create space for progressive approaches, we need new strategies and skills in the workplace.
In this workshop, we will discuss the fundamentals of sustainable entrepreneurial action and highlight how unlearning habits can help us put utopian ideas about money, care, redistribution, and justice into practice.
In the first part of our workshop, we will present our unlearning strategies with a short input and address the formats and questions we want to promote for systemic change. In the second part, we will guide participants through an interactive perspective shift to explore and discuss utopian ideas around money, care, redistribution, and justice together.
Our goal in this workshop is not only to question existing thought patterns but also to explore and discuss alternative solutions. The workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to rethink our current economic system and is open to new radical approaches.
