About this Event

As part of SIX Wayfinder Movement No. 2 — Ensembling, we are bringing together two leading thinkers and doers in a public global dialogue, ‘Open Duets’. 

In this session, we are inviting Javier Guillot from Bogota City Government and Jayne Engle from McConnell Foundation to reflect and have a conversation on how we can shape different possible futures for cities and what is the role of citizens in them. How can we as citizens imagine culture and nature in different ways and take action and decisions differently in our daily lives? How do we create experiments that guide us to different futures for cities, which are more resilient and livable?
