Re-imagining Sustainable Lifestyles

This morning participants from the DREAM:IN Conclave are brainstorming various aspects of future sustainable lifestyles based on insights collected from the Dream Journey. Alternating between scenarios, personas, dream categories – the small guy, the big picture – they are seeking to align personal dreams with tangible, inclusive, big-picture ideas for meeting them. Teams include student Dreamcatchers and professionals from various backgrounds and countries – a multi-disciplinary mix!

It’s been agreed that India’s key asset is its diversity and various avenues are being explored within this. Early notions have included vertical farms for dense urban centers, connected to community education initiatives. Rural sports centers have been proposed as a way of driving ambitions, values, health, women’s empowerment and community resilience. Many more ideas are surfacing which will be refined in this afternoon’s session with more rigor and focus.

Energy is pumping across the teams – driving intense discussions and transformative thinking.
