Institutional Partners on trail: Conference – How to Fall in Love with the Future

Speaker: Rob Hopkins
🎟️ Tickets: https://booking.mnhn.lu

Transition movement founder Rob Hopkins will take us on a deep dive into the radical imagination, introducing us to the quantum art of time travelling, the art of the “What If” question, the difference between “yes/but” and “yes/and”, the revolutionary power of the humble potato, and the neuroscience behind why falling in love with the future matters — all while teaching us a few silly games.

As bell hooks once wrote: “What we cannot imagine cannot come into being.” In this dynamic workshop, Rob will explore the power of temporal fluidity, helping us become time travellers and masters in cultivating a longing for the future.
