Akar Rumput Forum "Culture, Ecology & Social Impact"
Akar Rumput Forum: Culture, Ecology & Social Impact 🌿
This October, Indonesia House Amsterdam opens its doors for a day of conversation, connection and root-level thinking.
Initiated by @parivesamagazine, Akar Rumput Forum brings together Indonesian and Europe-based environmental professionals, young changemakers and early-career, impact-driven practitioners for a programme built around one question: what does it mean to build things people can actually trust, in our cities, our systems, our stories?
Across the day, we'll unpack:
🏙️ Building Belonging: Architecture, Culture and the Future of Urban Life
How the spaces we build shape the communities we become, and what it means to design cities that hold both memory and possibility.
🔺 The Credibility Triangle: ESG, Systems, and Creative Economy
Where ESG systems, the creative economy and consumer trust meet, and whether the metrics we track address root causes or simply displace harm.
⚡ Pecha Kucha: Systems Thinking & Cultural Sustainability Transition
Fast, sharp ideas on shifting how we think about change.
🌊 Community, Communication and the Stories That Shape Climate Action
Coastal protection, environmental media, Indigenous climate knowledge and visual storytelling, woven together from the ground up.
🤖 Workshop: Sustainable AI
The true cost of AI, examined through an ESG lens, ending with you drafting your own AI manifesto.
🎭 Art Performance
Closing the day with a live performance that brings the forum's themes to life.
