Be part of Global Summit for Innovation and Change - 15th - 17th August 2012

Catalyst for change

Describing themselves as a 'think-tank in action', The Global Summit is small, decentralised and flexible - serving to crowd source what’s working, innovate, experiment and re-design a few out-dated policy, philanthropy and technology systems.  It is an incredible platform, allowing communities who don't usually have direct input into global policy-making systems, to inform the development of new approaches and policy systems, right up to UN-level discussion.

At Greenhouse, we think their mutually-reinforcing objectives are nothing short of inspiring:

1)   Empower all voices to be heard in addressing humanity’s most pressing issues;
2)   Advance a universal framework for sustainable community development;
3)  Find and spread the world’s most sustainable technologies and social innovations.

"The Global Summit does not do all this, but brings together the best of those who can and will." - theglobalsummit.org

Declaration of Interdependence 

We LOVE the Declaration of Interdependence from The Global Summit -

Sign up for the summit

The summit will be preceded by a cultural benefit soirée on 15th August (tiaras, as we understand it, need not be worn).

A full schedule for the 16th and 17th August has been planned and looks set to be the global sustainability event of the year (and probably more effective than Rio+20...).

Nick Jankel, founder and CEO of We Create (and fellow Hub member), will be giving a keynote speech on the neuroscience, psychology and philosophy of breakthrough social innovation. 

Places start from £20 per delegate, so definitely worth booking a place before they all sell out!

PS. If you do attend the summit, we'd love to hear about your experience, and what you've come away with. Drop us an email to info@greenhousepr.co.uk
