6th Nature of Prosperity Dialogue

Saving the good life

Online, 17 November 2020, 11.15am-4pm

. . .

How can we nurture visions of the good life that preserve nature and protect the interests of future generations? Can new institutions help us to re-invigorate democracy? Can creativity inspire us to conserve what we love? How can we become the ‘good ancestors’ we would wish for our kids, in the world they will inherit?

CUSP and the Foundation for Democracy and Sustainable Development are delighted to invite you to the latest in our series of dialogues on the Nature of Prosperity, hosted by the Dr Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury. This event is held online and will also celebrate the previously unpublished authors who responded to our call on Nature Writing for the Common Good.

Can Nature Writing be a force for saving what we wish to conserve and carry on loving, and to hand on to future generations? Can it be a contribution to the political and social movements for a re-imagination of the good life, of sustainable prosperity? Taking seriously the claims of art to enable us to imagine other futures, CUSP is launching a call for entries for a new nature writing project: Nature Writing for the Common Good.
