Think GLOBAL Grow LOCAL, a new series of International Round Table events from Journeys in Design.
The title of our series is a riff on the phrase ‘Think Global Act Local’ and the work of pioneering Scottish ecologist, Patrick Geddes. His call on us to consider nature and the seasons as our guide and to progress in tandem with the planet, underpins much of our work with Journeys in Design. We also take this cue to offer our future Round Tables in spring as we plant and autumn as we harvest (Northern hemisphere!).
