Vision Forum Spring Meeting - March 11-12, 2014.

Vision Forum cordially invites you to participate in this year's spring meeting in Norrköping and Linköping in collaboration with KSM at Linköpings universitet, Östsam and Flygvapenmuseet in Linköping. The session will focus on how creators can nurture human and inter-human qualities in the face of the (disintegrating?) welfare state. The participants will reflect on questions about how technology and human mobility has changed ideas of wealth distribution, solidarity and discuss if there are new ways deal with/counteract or resolve these questions.

Participants will travel from Germany, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Belgium, Holland, the US and the UK to shed light on these urgent problematics and will talk about projects as far afield as Cameroon, Haiti and Ghana.

Happy New Year!
