Highlights from the Gala Evening on 16 May – Castle Kronberg

Reinventing Education - Peter Merry

Ubiquity University and the Disruption of Higher Education

How do we create a form of learning that is relevant to this age of great transition and hypercomplexity, globally, affordably, and in a way that engages the learner as a whole person? That is the design challenge that Ubiquity is a response to. Blending critical academic study with self-mastery and hands-on change projects, Ubiquity is designed to be a training ground for the next generation of changemakers.

Reinventing Politics - Jody Jensen

What is common in old paradigm political worldviews is the strong insistence to historic dividedness and cultural differences as well as the complete lack or rejection of the holistic approach in dealing with grave social, political, and ecological problems. The vision and practice of a wisdom based society can turn knowledge into organic and holistic practices to replace gradually the old paradigm of a knowledge-based society. There are, however serious signs of fundamental change both in the functioning of the world system and in the way of thinking about it and analyzing it. The construction of a new narrative to take us into the future requires the input of each of us, and the time for action is now

Introducing the 7th Generation Principle

Embracing the Future - Kingsley L. Dennis

Connecting the world

We are living through a time of great transition – the upcoming decades are more likely to be based aroundpotentials rather than linear trends and forecasts. The future will be about embracing new models and values of collaboration, connection, communication, and consciousness. Already there are countless examples of how this wave of change is occurring across the planet. Such examples include how people interact with new technologies; the impacts of social media; the new emerging generation; and the rise of a global empathic mindset. The future demands a new responsibility from us – one of participation and the energy of connectivity. Those generations that come after us will be born as change rather than being born into change – and a new thinking will arise from the ashes of the old.

Jem Bendell

In his speech Professor Bendell explains how our current monetary system makes a transition to a more resilient and fair socio-economic system impossible. He will show the ways that people are working to both reform and transcend the system, including currency innovations. He will warn that innovations in private currency and exchange systems could replace existing power structures without empowering communities, so a broader range of stakeholders must become involved in shaping these innovations now, so they serve transition not decay.
