Join us for a special Toronto screening of The Economics of Happiness with the film’s producer Helena Norberg-Hodge. The film will be preceded by a
reception and exhibit of artwork by Sheridan College students entitled ‘Animating Good Food Ideas’. It will be followed by a panel discussion with Helena Norberg-Hodge, activist chef Joshna Maharaj and urban farmer Eric Rosenkrantz, moderated by author Wayne Roberts.
“The Economics of Happiness describes a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, government and big business continue to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, all around the world people are resisting those policies, demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance—and, far from the old institutions of power, they’re starting to forge a very different future. Communities are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localization.”
Directions: William Doo Auditorium is located in the basement of the New College Residence. Enter through the door at the Southeast corner of Willcocks Street and Spadina Avenue.
Helena Norberg-Hodge will also be at the Student Conversation Cafe, East Common Room, Hart House, 7 Hart House Circle, University of Toronto on Tuesday, January 25th from 12pm-2pm.
