As division deepens and the natural world suffers, kindness is no longer optional. This session digs into the root systems driving polarisation, exploitation, and extraction: colonialism, capitalism, consumerism, and the political and media machinery behind them. So, what does real change look like in practice? From music-led climate action to 100 marathons in 100 days, to bringing joy to children in refugee camps, this panel spotlights those using creativity, events, and collective agency to build bridges and reconnect to real humanity.
