Paradise: Lost & Found,

14.30 Sunday 20th May 2012

On Sunday 20th May, GREENBELT is pleased to be hosting an afternoon of thought-provoking short talks from some of your favourite Greenbelt contributors including economists, campaigners, artists and thinkers (see below for the full lineup and talk titles).

The event – which takes place at the Greenbelt offices in London – will start discussion around Greenbelt’s theme for 2012 – Saving Paradise. Each of the ten speakers will be offering ideas around how paradise was lost, and how it might be possible to recover it again.

The event runs from 14.30 – 16.30. There are limited tickets available, so book online here »

This event is proudly supported by the Jerusalem Trust
