FACILITATED NETWORKING WILL ONLY WORK WHEN TUNING WITH THE MOBILE APP.

GLF Bonn 2020 may be a digital event but the screen won’t separate you from the other participants! Through these facilitated networking sessions, you can connect with people across the globe. In this 30-minute session, we will first hear a short introduction by the moderator, and then go into small, break-out ‘rooms’ where you can meet new people every five minutes! The moderator will provide you with information you can use to develop your questions,  in order to make the most of your networking time. Please note that to participate in facilitated networking, you must download the Whova app.

Take advantage of other networking opportunities.

One on One Networking:

Within the Whova app, you receive recommendations concerning network possibilities, based on your profile, and you can view other participants’ backgrounds to select with whom you want to connect.

Group Networking:

Are you interested in fostering conversations among more individuals on a specific topic? Then the Group Networking feature is what you need. It can be activated via the Community button on your dashboard, and it will allow you to:

• Join or create a social group. You can take part in social groups already listed or participate in a social group linked to a specific session. If your topic is not listed, you can initiate your own group, by clicking “add a topic or social group”, and invite people to join.
• If you would like to virtually meet face-to-face, then join or create a meet up! In the Meet-ups & Virtual Meets feature, you can look for active meet-ups, or suggest one yourself. To do so, just click on “Suggest a Meet” and then on “Virtual Meet”; fill out the details of the meeting (time, title, topic) and make sure to let people know about it.

We must fundamentally change the way we produce, consume and live. This interactive plenary will bring conference participants live to the stage to reflect and answer the question “what now?” and uncover key take-aways from the GLF Bonn Digital Conference. The segment will ask participants to reflect on the 3-days and identify which systems, approaches and lifestyles we must relinquish and restore, how we can continue to build resilience and how we reconcile our current realities with our actions to successfully move forward to build the future we want. Live scribing by Josephine Ford at studio RAA.

Perrine and Charles Herve-Gruyer a “power couple” and described as France’s Permaculture Ambassadors and owners of the “Le Ferme du Bec Hellouin” – a permaculture/micro-farm situated in Eure Normandy renowned for its vegetable and fruit productivity and revenue on a relatively small patch of land that also protects nature and creates biodiversity. For their work, the couple were recently awarded a sustainable development prize in Haute Normandie and their farm is nationally and internationally recognised as a reference for holistic farming. On 4 June, award-winning journalist Natasha Elkington will speak with Perrine and Charles Herve-Gruyer on their reinvented lifestyles and the significant viabilities of cultivating with conscience.

As food need to grow, ecological degradation threatens not only food production but our very survival on the planet. It is time for people to become conscious of our fundamental relationship with land. How healthy the soil is today is how healthy we will be. And restoring tree cover is fundamental to restoring habitats, ecosystems, and averting large-scale desertification of our planet. Tree-based agriculture in particular is powerfully placed to harmonize several priorities, including aligning our ecological aims with our economic ones, and reducing human migrations compelled by loss of agrarian livelihoods. For human well-being, for health, for food security, and above all for ecological balance, we must aspire to draw at least 30% of our food from trees.

Meditation

Every worm, insect, and animal acts in harmony with the ecological wellbeing of the planet. Only we humans, who claim to be the most intelligent species, are not doing that. We act as if we are the only or the last generation on the planet. It is very important that we recognize that every other life has a right to live on this planet too, and our survival is contingent on theirs. The preservation and nurturing of this planet and all living creatures is synonymous with aspiring for a good life for ourselves. It is time to raise human consciousness so our actions transform from a

destructive mode to an inclusive one, bringing people and planet into harmony. Daily practice of a simple yet powerful meditation can bring about balance and stability such that human actions become purposeful and all-inclusive.
