Sustainability models: making it work.. without losing the fun.
Nesta, 58 Victoria Embankment, London
Being my scatterbrained self, it was insightful and adventurous to have an entire room firing ideas faster than one can gobble a macaron. The session was like plucking manna from a cloud of fire: build quick, create structure, review, check and re-check.
What I do appreciate about NESTA is their interactive approach to learning: the facilitator isn’t the sole source of information, each brain in the room was a potential resource. And to focus on the subject of sustainability for creative hubs: numbers are entirely fun, presented in this manner… wish my math subjects were something like this.
Nesta is a global innovation foundation. They back new ideas to tackle the big challenges of the time, from the pressures of an ageing population to stretched public services and a fast changing jobs market. They believe that innovation – the creation and adoption of new ideas – is the key to human progress, prosperity and happiness.
But too often innovation doesn’t back the things that really matter to people. They want to make innovation work for everyone – growing new ideas that tackle the challenges our society faces and change the world for the better.
