Project Earth presents: An inspirational event investigating how to build a movement and why we are stronger together
From the Black Lives Matter movement to the Clap for Carers, solidarity, community and mutual aid are more than buzzwords; they are real and tangible forces cutting swathes through the individualistic aspects of our culture. Our group of experts – Caroline Lucus, Aditi Mayer, Jack Harries and Tony Juniper – discuss how individual citizens can come together to harness the power of collective action and responsibility? How can we build active and supportive communities that appeal to the best aspects of our nature? How can we all campaign for change? Prepare to be inspired.
