Kees Klomp - A New Story
TALK // Kees used to help big brands sell more stuff. Until he asked himself a simple question: What if the way we live… is the real problem? These days, Kees writes, speaks and teaches about something he calls Ecoliberalism ,a word that might sound complicated, but is really quite simple. It means: let’s build a world where life comes first. Not profit. Not growth. But life. He believes that we humans are not the centre of everything. We are part of a much bigger story, one that includes trees, rivers, birds and bugs. And if we want a future that works, we need to start acting like we belong here. Like we’re home. At Campfire Stories, Kees will help us imagine what that world could look like. A place where the economy is no longer a treadmill, but something that supports real freedom not just for people, but for all living things. He doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. But he does know where to begin: Right here, right now. With the people around us. With what we choose to grow, share and care for.
Come sit by the fire. Let’s rewrite the story!
