About the event
At our last event, Prof. Johanna Gollnhofer opened a question nobody had a clean answer to:
Why do people know what the right choice is, and still not make it? This evening is the follow-up. Come with good questions!
Somara Gantenbein will be in the room. Environmental and organisational psychologist at UZH, board member of IPU Switzerland, and someone who actually lives in this world. She won’t be presenting. She’ll be answering your questions. Come with good ones.
Also for the first time: Csaba Péntek, founder of the Vegan Business Circle, joins us in person.
