Conference 2003
Global Aspirations & The Reality of Change - How can we do things differently?
Just imagine being transported through the revolution that Ireland has experienced in the past decade - the rise and rise in consumption, the acceleration in the pace of work and personal life, the effect of communication replacing transmission, the means overcoming the end... but despite all that, imagine that change is possible. Imagine a revolution of deceleration...
'Indifference will not be allowed', imagine the challenge of these five words!
Just imagine having a whole morning to reflect on the possibilities of influencing the system of power that keeps us politically docile and economically productive. Imagine the joy of realising that power is present in every moment, in every relationship and there is ultimately no 'small act'...
Just imagine all that and the camaraderie and the energy of spending two days with three hundren people who want to do things differently, who want to effect change. Imagine conversations - at early and late hours - stories, dreams, ideas, debate, energy.
