Melting glaciers, shrinking rainforests - sustainable handling of resources in a global context is more than necessary. What is and could be the impact of culture on a change of values? A serious question, thoroughly scrutinised at the Nature and Sustainability Congress in Basel, on March 1 2013.

The artistic director of the documenta 13 in Kassel, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, will be one of the speakers on the contribution of culture to a sustainable society. A workshop, co-organised by Pro Helvetia will intensify the topic.

For further information, see the congress website here. The congress will be held in German and French.

Thank you to Pro Helvetia for this information.
