Ellen MacArthur Foundation

Posted in: News and Updates

Off to the launch of the Ellen Macarthur Foundation tonight.

The ambition of its education programme is striking:

Education at the Foundation revolves around sharing our enthusiasm for the bigger picture. It explores in particular the excitement around the circular economy, a rethinking and redesigning of production and consumption using insights from living systems.  Our work is focussed on the 14-19 curriculum, and informal education in the key areas of science, design, business / economics and careers.

I'm pleased to say that I have a bit part in this compelling and evolving drama.
