Purpose Film: Online Screening

In Scotland, one in four children are growing up in poverty. People are facing impossible choices as they can’t afford the essentials. At the same time, around the world we are seeing the devastating impact of the climate crisis.

Have you ever wondered why?

Join us for an on-line screening of  Purpose - a Wellbeing Economies Film and short follow-up discussion with Purpose Director, Martin Oetting, where we explore how the economy is at the heart of these problems and what we can do differently.

This inspiring film follows the stories of Katherine Trebeck and Lorenzo Fioramonti, between 2018 and 2020, as they work to transform our economy so that it puts people and planet first. It highlights the pivotal role that Scotland played in establishing the Wellbeing Economy Governments Partnership.

Five years on, the Scottish Government is still committed to pursuing a Wellbeing Economy but the world has changed around us through a pandemic, war and a worsening climate crisis. What lessons can we learn from the early days of the Wellbeing Economy movement in Scotland about the ongoing importance of the concept?

Please note that film run time is approx 1hr 36 mins. We will send the event link closer to the time.
