Environmental Compassion Global warming, massive biodiversity loss, immigration driven by extreme weather events. How to respond? How do we create a future in which both people and nature thrive? As founders of the Inner Green Deal Initiative, we believe that a meaningful transformation starts from the inside. Reconnecting to inner qualities such as openness, compassion and courage. Seeing the reality of environmental suffering and taking actions that intend to relieve that suffering. During this participatory session Jeroen Janss, co-founder of the Inner Green Deal will lead participants to practice environmental compassion and reflect on the benefits of cultivating an “open heart and a strong back”. Mindshift-in-Action: Bubble-Hopping Join us for a workshop on bubble-hopping. We will explore how to break out of our bubbles and increase our understanding of others. It will help to bridge divides in organizations and in society. We will give you an experience and a framework that you can adapt, develop and use in your work (and life). You will be introduced and briefly practice how to: · Understand and break out of bubbles, silos & mind-traps · Listen, ask & share constructively · Communicate your learnings to inspire others and scale up the practice This is a workshop for those who want to learn a practical method to create a mindshift, and how to use it in organizations. It will be run by a team from Sweden, Germany, and France: Emma Stenström, Cyril Moulin-Fournier, Jennifer Hansen, Mats Paulsen Bubble-hopping is a science-based method developed at Stockholm School of Economics in order to bridge divides in organizations and society.

Central to this idea is that life is constantly providing us with opportunities to learn and thus develop. How can we sharpen our ability to recognize and skillfully engage these opportunities? Jonathan Reams, Norwegian University of Science and Technology facilitates this session that provide some simple principles to explore how to develop this master skill. |
Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re in Without Going Crazy. We are in a time when we need to connect to the Earth, more than ever. But when confronted with the monumental wounds inflicted on the living world, it is often easier to just turn a blind eye. Talk about hope can feel superficial and vain. How can we stay open, cultivate hope, resilience and deep connection (to ourselves, our community, and Nature) in these challenging times? These are skills that can be honed, so that we have access to them in trying times such as the moment we are in. This workshop presents the Works that Reconnects by ecophilosopher and activist Joanna Macy and is based on the book Active Hope (co-authored with Chris Johnstone). It embraces the difficult feelings we may have in the light of global crises and transforms them into unexpected resilience and creative power. Cultivating Active Hope is a practice that is different from optimism. It is about becoming active participants in bringing about what we long for. To have active hope is to find internal sustenance to joy, compassion and meaning amidst our pain for the world, so that we can sustain ourselves in compassionate action. The interdependence between individual growth and organizational sustainability Mindshift is based on the idea that inner development is needed for us as a humanity to be able to fulfill sustainability in line with the SDGs. In this workshop we will focus on the connection to the organizational system level - where most of us spend a lot of our time and effort and where many feel that change is needed. Together we will be exploring the interdependence between individual growth and organizational sustainability and how we can create conditions for them both. Dominic von Martens, Marie Froment and Love Lönnroth will host a workshop where you also will reflect upon the barriers you perceive exist to organizational sustainability and individual growth – and how you can contribute within the context you are in. They are consultants and part of Self Leader and Sonder that share the notion that more human-centric organizations are important to be able to manage uncertainty and a complex business environment. But we also believe that human-centric organization is a key to both human and planetary sustainability. The human-centric organization is dependent on the well-being, engagement, and growth of its members. And those members will be able to shape a more sustainable path forward. |

The impact of culture on inner development goals.
The IDG´s are based on the assumption that everybody wants to develop. That might be the case, yet different national cultures impact the way we learn. For example, do we initiate our own development, or is it the responsibility of society we live in and/or the organisation we work at to create a learning environment? Do we look upon development as a source of continuous improvement, meaning we feel we are never perfect or do we simply want to achieve a certain status, build up a certain track record to be seen as the master of our own universe? In this workshop Egbert Schram, Hofstede Insights and Michael (Misho) Minkov, International University College, Bulgaria combine academic insights based on recent research done by Hofstede Insights together with Mikael Minkov, among 60+ countries and 60.000+ respondents with practical insights from how different organisations go about ensuring a learning culture from which employees and organisations alike can benefit. |
