To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Resurgence, The Resurgence Trust staged a three-day spectacular event, entitled One Earth, One Humanity, One Future, from Thursday 22nd to Sunday 25th September, at Worcester College, Oxford.
Centred around the unifying vision of the event's title, speakers, performers and attendees were invited to celebrate Resurgence's 50 years at the forefront of the green movement, and to look forward to the half century to come.
One Earth, One Humanity, One Future offered a rich melting pot of inspiring talks, thought-provoking conversations, stimulating panel discussions and stirring performances. Leading edge global speakers shared their latest ideas and ground-breaking solutions relating to climate change, ecology, social justice, spirituality, the arts, and other interconnecting contemporary issues.
The 50-plus speakers included spirit and science author, Fritjof Capra; activist and campaigner for farmers' rights, soil and seeds, Vandana Shiva; Green MP Caroline Lucas; campaigner and celebrity chef, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall; and celebrated film maker Lord Puttnam. Other speakers include Simon Armitage, Charles Eisenstein, Bruce Lipton, Fiona Reynolds, Richard Long, Bill McKibben, Jonathon Porritt and Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury.
Talks were interspersed with spirited world dance and song performances.
Worcester College and its gardens provided a stunning venue and backdrop to the event. Steeped in centuries of learning, the remarkable college architecture is set amid 26 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, offering a tranquil haven to discuss and reflect on the ideas and inspiration of the programme.
