\"\"<\/p>\n

Beginning tonight, international leaders in social innovation, the green economy, public participation, and sustainable design will be in Halifax to do more than just one-off presentations. They will submerse themselves in the Halifax community to explore how participatory design can help this lively region in its transition to sustainability.<\/em><\/p>\n

Visiting innovators include headliner John Thackara, global lecturer and design critic, Peter MacLeod of MASS LBP \u2013 experts in reinventing public engagement, and Uffe Elbaek founder of Danish Kaospilot School that creates positive societal change through professional and personal growth. Thackara describes his role in Halifax as a<\/em> “Hubble Telescope turned backwards – the idea being that it often takes an outsider to help grassroots people and groups, who are the acorns of a sustainable future, become better known or visible in their own backyard.”<\/em><\/p>\n
