KEYNOTE SPEAKER - Paul Mackay
Leader for the Section of Social Sciences, Paul Mackay will address the beehive as a human social and economic metaphor. How do we create a ‘global hive’ in a world that runs counter to the principles of warmth?

SPEAKER - Horst Kornberger
Adult educator and poet Horst Kornberger will speak on the mission of the contemporary Rosicrucian – the mission of ‘Global Language’.

SPEAKER - Darius Outhred
Darius Outhred will speak on issues arising from a Goethean investigation into genetics and the manipulation of life. What are the implications for our humanity when the recognition of context is lost?
