The evening will feature the film "Civilizing the Economy" and a discussion on bringing sustainable inspired cooperative development to our region. 

 

"Civilizing the Economy", directed by Vancouver Island's Tom Shandel, takes the viewer to the Emilia-Romagna area of northern Italy where 45% of the GDP is from cooperatives. 

 

After the hour-long film, Don Brown and Andrew Moore will present ideas on how we can encourage and develop more cooperatives in our neighborhood.

The theme of the evening will be based on the quote by Albert Einstein: "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them".  7 p.m. at Edward Milne Community School, 6218 Sooke Rd. in Sooke.
