Connect with the most impactful idea of today!
Online participation at Earth Rights Conference
We invite you to take part of the international Earth Rights Conference Online. The conference is taking place in Sigtuna, Sweden, but we´d like the whole world to be there! So, this year we are hosting the whole conference online, where you as a participant will be curated for with the aim to give you a full experience of the conference online. Together with a team of hosts, the online conference will be a participatory event connecting you with the most impactful idea for healing the relationship between people and nature of today and some of the world leaders of the field.
Participants will take part of the live-stream through the Zoom webinar platform where your host David Bennett will guide the event, creating an interactive space. You will get online exclusive material with the keynote speakers as well as the organizers, special guests and other attendees sharing their reflections on what is going on. You will have the possibility to share your own reflections within the webinar platform and get the chance to ask questions from some of the keynote speakers as well.
The online conference includes;
- Streaming of all the plenary sessions
- Online interactive platform with online host David Bennett
- Exclusive interviews, talks, shares from the keynotes, organizers and other guests of the conference, with on-site host Arci Pasanen
- A chance to connect to with others working with rights of nature both locally and globally.
We are looking so much forward to seeing you there!
