Rethinking Economy-A Holistic Search for Questions of Sustainability

Dan-Felix Müller

Workshop Description:

The papers are so full of “sustainability”, “corporate social responsibility” and answers to the world’s problems, that one might get the feeling of living in a perfect world.

But did we already find the right questions? What does responsibility really mean and what are we responding to?

In this open workshop we will try to take a curious look at the world, question old and new concepts as well as our own convictions and by doing so, trying to get a deeper and inquiring understanding of what a sustainable economy might look like – and what might be our individual contribution. 

One of the main concepts looked at, may be the area of ethic investment with its different approaches, since, in this field, a lot of questions can be found and be transferred to other fields.

You need no previous knowledge, though, the only important thing is that you like to question each and every thing.
