Damon Gameau: “When you keep telling people how bad it is and how it isn’t getting any better, our brains are not geared for that – they just shut down.” “So, how about we show people a better life – what’s on the other side of this crisis? What is the world we aspire to create?”

Special invitation to schools and youth, with information on international youth organizations and ways they can actively contribute to shaping the future of the island.

The lecture HVAR: RETHINKING THE FUTURE is being conducted in collaboration with the Tourist Boards, towns, and municipalities of the island of Hvar.
