FODI Celebrating 10 Years in 2020 - The Story So Far
Why have a festival of dangerous ideas? The world has changed, is changing. To survive, we must adapt. Go beyond the hype. The Festival of Dangerous Ideas is the original disruptive festival. It is a platform to share provocative ideas that interrogate how we got to this point, and where we want to go next. We need to be curious – as individuals and as a society. The world we are making and unmaking, is a reflection of ourselves. Do we like what we see? Let’s arm ourselves with information. Challenge ourselves and each other with respect. Make space for difficult discussions. It’s time to get uncomfortable.
