Wellbeing Economy Symposium
Event description
A day to exchange perspectives on an economy that is focused on wellbeing rather than GDP.
The global Church is encouraging a shift towards ecological economics. Meanwhile, our Federal and State Governments are both introducing wellbeing budgets that include quality of life measures to counter excessive focus on GDP. Join us for a conversation about these two paradigms, how they overlap, and how any of us might draw on them in our own work. All welcome!
