SYDNEY WORKSHOP - EXPLORING ECOCENTRIC CULTURE AND GOVERNANCE IN AUSTRALIA

"We live in very strange times. Many people have declared we are officially in ‘collapse’ - across ecosystems, capitalist economics, Western governance systems and more.

At the same time, we are seeing rapid growth in Earth laws initiatives, rights of nature laws, bioregionalism, multi-species justice, ‘nature on the board’ and respect for Indigenous knowledge and practices that Care for Country and Care for Kin.

How can we bring the very best of us - our ideas, our creativity and our love for life on Earth – together, to connect diverse fields of work, encourage and support each other, ask questions, and build a positive vision for collectively responding to eco-social challenges.

AELA’s Eco-Imaginarium Series is co-hosted in Sydney with Regen Sydney, UTS Transdisciplinary School, Ecocentrix and Future Dreaming. Join us to connect, learn and share!
