The birth of her son led Inez to think about new ways of creating a fairer society. In this talk, she describes the work of Manfred Max-Neef, the founder of Barefoot Economics. Inez Aponte is a facilitator, educator and consultant in the Human Scale Development Approach, working with individuals and communities seeking to improve their quality of life in balance with the Earth’s ecology. With a background in art and performance, she focuses on the interplay between language, storytelling and behaviour change to help groups cultivate their ‘radical collective imagination’ - a capacity she believes is vital for the creation of a socially and ecologically just world. She has worked with a wide range of international audiences, including refugees, business leaders, community organisers and students from institutions such as Schumacher College, the Centre for Alternative Technology, London School of Economics and Lille Institute of Political Studies.
She is founder of Growing Good Lives, Creative Director of Culture Garden and a fellow of The Schumacher Institute. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
