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 Diane Roussin from Winnipeg Boldness Project and David Robinson from Relationship Project to reflect on the different lenses they have taken in their own workaround building meaningful relationships to themselves, to their communities and to the natural world. Where in the world are relationship-centred approaches being revived and where are they being lost, and why? What can we learn from indigenous ways of knowing-being-feeling-doing to build better societies? And how do we embed attitudes and behaviours around relational repair and relational wealth in our policies and everyday practices?
