From What Is to What If: The Role of Imagination in TransitionWhat: In this online event, Rob Hopkins will set out the key ideas behind his new book “From What Is to What If,” and invite participants to reflect on the role of the imagination in their work in Transition. It will include some interactive exercises, stories from around the world, and a way of looking at it that you may not have experienced before. As Kate Raworth, author of ‘Doughnut Economics’ described it, “for anyone seeking a renewed sense of possibility, this one’s for you.” When: Tuesday, February 18, 2020, 11:00am – 12:30pm, Pacific Standard Time Where: Free Online Event Please click here to register for this free webinar and receive a personalized link to join. **********************************************************************************************
