Open discussion with Local Agenda 21 and id:22
Our theme:
The cult of speed
These days our culture teaches that faster is better. But in the race to keep up, everything suffers - our work, diet and health, our relationships and sex lives. We are in such a hurry that anyone or anything that slows us down becomes the enemy.
Are there alternatives?
We discuss the thesis of Carl Honoré who wrote "In Praise Of Slow" (www.inpraiseofslow.com) and talk about a very inventive example of "deregulation" in the Dutch town of Groningen. For more information please open the attachment "Die Schilderstürmer von Friesland" Berliner Zeitung, 24.10.2006.
