Shaping the future together
+++
Our society has never been more vibrant and confident as it is today. The more we are flooded by information, the sooner it becomes clear to all of us: I am the designer of my own life, my own gardener, my own creative director. It is up to us to make a difference and to find like-minded people to work with together.

Creating consciousness for a cultural change
+++
It is not boundless growth and consumption that should determine our thoughts and actions in the future, but ideas of common use, noble actions, tolerance and respect – Quality not quantity should be the goal.
+++
Multidisciplinary dialogue
+++
Multidisciplinarity signifies discussing all aspects of a question from a variety of angles. For this reason GLOBART invites not only representatives from different disciplines, but also visionaries and implementers. By combining all views in a final synopsis, we are able to create sustainable solutions. We inspire people to promote a cultural dialogue in commerce, science, arts and politics for a sustainable society. The GLOBART Academy with its changing annual theme presents a perfect meeting place – a multidisciplinary platform for visionaries and implementers, invited to develop ideas and encourage innovations.

Presenting alternatives
+++
In addition to criticism it is equally important to present alternatives – to initiate and promote pilot projects. An example is “x-runner”, a mobile toilet, which was presented at the GLOBART Academy by Noa Lerner, an Israeli designer. In the context of the Academy GLOBART found an investor who made its development possible. For further information see: http://vimeo.com/51312933.

Developing a future from our traditions
+++
A future needs heritage, which means to learn from the past – for our daily life and for what my come.
