An inspiring film about the fight for a better economic system - one that prioritises people and planet over endless growth and profit.
About this Event

documents the journey of economists and as they challenge the GDP-focused economic model, advocating for systems that prioritise human and planetary well-being over our current, growth driven economy.

The film chronicles the creation of the Wellbeing Economy Governments (WEGo) alliance—including Scotland, New Zealand, Iceland, Wales, and Finland—and the political hurdles met in shifting economic, social, and environmental policy.

The film will be shown after a short intro and afterwards there will be a short introduction to Community Wealth Building, Scotland’s new economic development model,and a discussion.

Accessibility:The venue is located at ground level with ramps at the entrances. An accessible unisex toilet is available. Attendees can also contact the venue in advance about any other accessibility requirements, on 0131 555 4738 or [email protected].
