Think Circular, Act Circular. A meeting following the screening of the film GOING CIRCULAR, dir. Niger Walk, Richard Dale
In Polish only
Partners: PPNT Gdynia, Design Centre, Gdynia Design Days
In Going Circular four groundbreaking thinkers navigate environmental, economic and social crises of the modern age. We learn about their experiences related to circularity, a new approach to consumption, design and business development. Why should the redefinition of global paradigms and respect for the limits of the planet's natural resources become the foundation for building our present and creating the future? What challenges and opportunities does living in a circular economy present? How can we use sustainable design so that humanity not only survives but thrives? Is the future circular and what does that mean?
