second day of OEES 2021

The slogan of the MARK-CULTURE track was "Whether and how to start all over again," and was attended by, among others, the author of books on what a sustainable future might look like, John Thackara. During the lecture, Thackara spoke, among other things, about the values that guide his life and work, about the fact that we must learn to meet others, regardless of the differences that divide us, only by doing so will we be able to improve our situation, and also emphasized that we should look for beauty in the world around us - the ecosystem, bacteria, flowers - not in what humans create . The "Redesign the World" inspiration session, moderated by Anna Wroblewska, featured, alongside Thackara, Frans Joziasse (CEO and founder of PARK & Grow), Martyna Sztaba (founder of Syntoil, a startup that cleans carbonizer from used tires) and Tomasz Szymanski (Managing Partner at Together).
