This talk takes you on a journey of rediscovery of the genius of the living world around us. Through numerous concrete examples, illustrated and explained, come and discover how we draw inspiration from nature to innovate and find alternative solutions. You’ll be surprised by the diversity of examples, across all fields, and by the feats of the champions of biodiversity!

It will also be a friendly opportunity for discussion, reminding us why this approach is gaining traction today, whilst touching on philosophy, our place in the world, and, above all, the solutions that demonstrate that this new model of balance between us and the rest of the living world is not only possible but already underway.

An educational session for all ages, delivered in a positive and enthusiastic spirit, designed to reveal the incredible potential of this simple, powerful and universal idea: to take the natural world as our model and team up with it to build a different future.
