About the event

Step into an inspiring afternoon designed to explore the connections between biodiversity, health, community, science, art, planet-care, and other minds. This unique micro-conference brings together scientists, artists, environmentalists, and community leaders to share ideas, research, and creative projects that connect people and the planet.


Special Guest Speaker:

We’re delighted to welcome Professor Lars Chittka-world-leading expert in sensory and behavioural ecology, founder of the Research Centre for Psychology at Queen Mary University of London, and renowned for his groundbreaking research on bee intelligence, colour vision, and cognition. Author of the acclaimed book, ‘The Mind of a Bee’. Professor Chittka’s work has revealed how bees perceive the world, solve problems, and even display forms of memory and learning once thought impossible in insects. Expect thought-provoking presentations, innovative perspectives, and opportunities to connect with others passionate about a sustainable future.
