We're very happy to connect to Lorenzo Lonardi and Belinda Kraja from the think-and-act-tank Research & Degrowth International (R&D) and warmly welcome them on board as ambassadors of THE STORY OF A NEW WORLD! 🎥 🌎
R&D is an academic association dedicated to research, awareness-raising, and events organization around the topic of degrowth. 🌿 🗣 💭
🤔 But what does "degrowth" actually mean?
R&D defines degrowth as a multi-level voluntary path towards reduction of production and consumption aiming at ecological sustainability, good life, liberty, and social justice. In the degrowth process, R&D is concerned with democracy, international cooperation, and understanding as opposed to societal closure, fragmentation, and authoritarianism. 🤝
🎬 And what does it have to do with THE STORY OF A NEW WORLD?
The question how we can re-imagine and re-build our economic system in a way that it does no longer exploit the people and the planet plays an important role in our docu-fictional impact film THE STORY OF A NEW WORLD. We strongly resonate with the ideas of Research & Degrowth International and appreciate the valuable work of this organisation. Yet, there are also many other people, ideas and concepts on this matter that you will encounter in THE STORY OF A NEW WORLD - so stay tuned and find out how we can change the way we produce and consume once the film is out! 👀
