During 12-18 November 2018, the Circular Economy Club (CEC) is hosting a global event which you can join to organize a screening of the Disruptive Innovation Festival (DIF). The DIF is an online platform curated by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which aims to shift mindsets and inspire action towards a circular economy. The festival invites people to share disruptive ideas and stories on a number of topics and attracts a worldwide audience, sparking critical conversations and participation through a combination of live interviews, films, and podcasts.

The DIF is a crowdsourced event which provides empowering open access for contributors who want to showcase their new ideas, thinking and initiatives with a global audience. CEC is partnering with DIF to bring the online festival to an in-person round of viewing parties all around the world.

What is a CEC DIF Viewing session

A viewing session is a space where you will gather different stakeholders of your community to discuss the content of carefully curated sessions of the Disruptive Innovation Festival. Sometimes, you will have other activities happening in parallel such as workshops, live talks, and discussions. All those will be having the goal to inspire you to answer: What if we could redesign everything? And look at it from the perspective of different stakeholders.

The curation process will be performed by you as the local Circular Economy Club organizer. You will be able to include the most relevant content to your community. The videos include live sessions from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation studio, from Universities, companies, thought-leaders, and authors. The videos can also be Google Hangouts, pre-recorded videos or podcasts. They are spread into different themes that go from exploring trends in thinking in systems to proposing educational systems reimagining learning, from assessing the role of people in the economy to an exploration of the future of food, and other very timely and critical themes in the realm of circular economy

Why host a CEC DIF Viewing session

It is of paramount importance that the circular economy community makes an effort to bring different stakeholders together and make people understand the circular economy. You can now become a host of a CEC Global DIF Viewing and choose out of the hundreds of various DIF videos, shape your own discussion and simultaneously with other organizers around the world shed light on the important circular economy topics.

After each session, each of us will collect 2-3 short 15sec videos from different stakeholders in your audiences sharing what they learned. The CEC core team will compile all videos in 1, to upload it to the DIF festival and to share broadly, to make people see what this new model means specifically.
