A Home is more than four walls. It’s about belonging, dignity, security – and a shared commitment to care for our neighbours and the world around us.
The solutions to our biggest challenges should be developed by the communities that are facing them. Communities have demonstrated their problem-solving abilities and their natural instincts to support each other during covid.
The system should show trust in communities, listen to them and let them lead, giving the power and resources so that decision making can happen to the greatest benefit of local people.
In this episode, we discuss why it is time to start measuring what really matters. And collaborate to create a new economic system that values wellbeing, time, community and nature.
Better is possible. Because better is already happening.
