Arcola Green Sunday

Presented in collaboration with the New Economics Foundation and CEECEC, the day will explore the way our society is based on ‘growth’ – the notion that more money, more goods and more services are needed by us all to lead fulfilling lives.

3:00 - Free workshop, “Choose your own economic adventure”, exploring the intersection of sustainability and economics through discussions, games and craft

5:00 - 7:20-  Films and Discussion hosted by Hali Healy from CEECEC (Civil Society Engagement with ECological Economics).

John Page, 2010, US/UK, 67mins
A new film that argues that the policies being implemented to deal with today’s economic turmoil will only temporarily shore up a global system that is fundamentally unstable and incapable of meeting the needs of people and the planet.
