Devon New Economy Gathering
Saturday April 16th
Exeter Community Centre 10 – 5 pm
What kind of
economy will promote well-being, for all, in a fair and sustainable way?
The way our
economy is organized affects everyday life; food, debt, taxes, energy prices,
banks, public services – choices about these involve values, and shouldn’t be
left to ‘experts’. But how can we speak
in a simple and relevant way about these?
And get involved locally in building better systems?
This day is to
share visions about alternatives and hear about what’s going on in Devon; to link organisers, practitioners, campaigners and
people who would like to know more, to learn from each other, collaborate where
possible and strengthen initiatives that reduce inequality, create good
livelihoods and well being in a way that will last.
Keynote speaker: Stewart Wallis, New
Economics Foundation
‘A Just and Sustainable Economy:
Routes to Change’.
