"Since Brundtland the thinking of sustainable development has taken off, especially how to intergrate the social, ecological and economical apects of our existence".
In this timeframe integration of thinking and doing is essential to create real impact. Integration plays an important role on all levels: on society level, on organisation level and at the individual level. To bundle all powers from all levels into one and to identify a focus is the real challenge.
This principle of integration of thinking and doing is the central theme of our approach.
Art does not show what is visible, but makes visible - Paul Klee
Being inspired. The Greek philosopher Plato described inspiration as 'anamnesis', a moment the soul touches reality. The feeling of being inspired by nature is getting more accepted. We expect nature and also art and culture will become more important sources for inspiration. Great artists and philosophers will inspire us by creating new solutions for todays problems and challenges. In art and culture universal values are provided, so a promising vision for the development of our planet can be established.
FORGOOD organises lectures, workshops and seminars, in which art and culture provide inspiration for sustainability!
