Programme details
As scientific advances promise extended healthy lifespans, we face unprecedented rates of social transformation within a single generation. In this era of exponential growth in both information and choices and dramatic societal acceleration, we will experience changes with overwhelming intensity and amplitude throughout our extended lives. These transformative shifts pose significant challenges to our health and well-being.
How can we cultivate a healthy and well-being-focused future in such an era? Through our research in 2023-2024, we have identified 'slowness' as crucial concepts for navigating this future.
This session explores new social paradigms and human-technology relationships for 2050, taking these concepts as guiding principles to navigate this transformative age.
