How can humans change from being the cause of the 6th mass extinction to being the solution: come and test if you are realistic, pessimistic or optimistic?

Why attend
When asked simple questions about global trends we systematically get the answers wrong, this campus session will help us understand the 10 instincts that limit our performance towards achieving the global goals. Then collective intelligence exercices will help us move forward collectively and individually towards concrete solutions for the future.
HideDescription
Facfulness is the stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which we have strong supporting facts. In this session we will experiment factfulness together in three steps: First based on the work of Hans Rosling we will evaluate our personal and collective view of the world, then using collective intelligence tools we will work on understanding the 10 limiting instincts we have and the solutions that go with them, and finally thanks to collective intelligence exercices we will all take concrete individual and collective actions towards the global goals. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.
