Silvers Dinners: See the sustainable world of expert Karen Blincoe

Karen Blincoe has spent over 30 years working at the highest levels of sustainable design and education. She has pioneered sustainability initiatives such as founding the ICIS Center and co-founding Chora 2030 in Denmark, published research, books, and shaped national agendas. But now, after decades in the field, she's asking a question most sustainability experts don't dare to:\ What about humanity is making sustainability impossible? At this dinner, hosted in Karen's own home in Dronningmølle, she invites 8 guests into a rare conversation: honest, challenging, and human. The theme is sustainability, but not the buzzword version. Karen is someone who has spent decades in her field and is still brave enough to question its core assumptions. During this dinner, Karen brings you into the real life version of sustainability for a meal and conversation around the table. Into a home designed with intention and a life built on daily choices. She will lead the evening in her own way. Karen is a designer by background. She founded sustainability centres, directed Schumacher College in the UK, and recently published Achieving Sustainability: The Ultimate Human Challenge. But what stands out is her presence: bold, clear, and sharp as ever. She thinks out loud with you, bravely. Human tip: Karen has the brilliant ability to make complicated ideas simple. You'll leave this evening understanding more of the patterns in the world around you.
