Film showing and discussion: 'Purpose' - a film about wellbeing economies

Crediton Arts Centre, East Street, Crediton EX17 3AX GoogleMap

The global multi-crisis is accelerating, it affects all aspects of our lives: democracy, climate, biodiversity, migration, justice, equality, institutions, farming ... And yet, there is no mainstream debate about the issue at the core of many - if not all - of these problems: our economies. How they function, what they deliver and how they are designed is not really part of our public conversation.

The economic system that is running our societies has a very narrow focus: We must "grow the GDP", i.e. make more money, no matter the cost. Rather than improving our lives, this logic is now tearing our societies and our planet apart. But no one seems to be working on a viable political alternative.

Or maybe some people are? And we have just not been paying attention?

This is not a ticketed event. Donations on the door will be very welcome to offset our costs.
