Webinar World Hope forum

Posted by on

LIDEWIJ EDELKOORT & PETRA JANSSEN 24 okt 2020 DEN BOSCH

Edelkoort presenteert tijdens de Dutch Design Week haar nieuwe platform World Hope Forum. Het is een soort anti-Davosforum, waarbij zij creatieve mensen wil samenbrengen om de beste ideeën en visies uit te wisselen. Macht en overredingskracht staan niet voorop, maar juist het opnieuw vormgeven van onze maatschappij en het bevragen waar deze uit moet bestaan.

 

——

”De creatieve mens moet nu aan tafel als het gaat om besluitvorming. Zij zijn er altijd om het geld te genereren, maar nooit om het te beheren. En dus wordt de creatieveling altijd uitgebuit door het grote geld, voorbijgestreefd door het grote geld en vernietigd door marketing. Ik denk dat dat omgekeerd moet worden omdat de creatieve geesten in de maatschappij beter weten waar we naartoe moeten.”

Petra heeft als ambassadeur Nederland een programma samengesteld.  Je kunt het terug beluisteren op het WHF You Tube kanaal. De eerste introductie vond plaats op 24 oktober in het Social label Lab in den Bosch. Het design lab voor maatschappelijke vernieuwing via design en communicatie.
