Description was written before the event
How can we live well without compromising the planet or other people?
Business psychologist and PhD in sustainability psychology Simon Elsborg Nygaard, external lecturer at Aarhus University, addresses a conflict many recognize: the desire to thrive and live meaningfully on one hand, and the desire to live sustainably on the other. Using the concepts of sustainable and planet-positive wellbeing, he argues that human and planetary wellbeing are not necessarily contradictions - but can be thought together.
The event is part of Folkeuniversitetet's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds. It takes place in Lille sal at Hovedbiblioteket. The full programme can be found on Folkeuniversitetet's website.
