Human Nature
Human Nature is a series of informal seminars where we adress noteworthy aspects of human nature and our relationship with the planet. Together with researchers, politicians, businesses, farmers, journalists, civil society representatives and other friends, we explore opportunities and solutions for the sustainable development of society from a scientific, technical, cultural and social perspective.
In 2010 the first Human Nature seminar was organized.
About Human Nature
In 2010 the first Human Nature seminar was organized, and since then the series has covered several themes that shed light on the dynamics between human beings and this planet. Some past themes included Death, Boundaries, Things that Grow, Truth or Dare and Below the Surface. The seminar series moves at the intersection of humanity and nature, aiming to build bridges between researchers and practitioners across different sectors. The goal is to create better conditions for more people to work together toward a more sustainable society. We are guided by Axfoundation’s motto: Act to Inspire, Inspire to Act.
Speakers and guests from different corners of the world have participated – Sweden, Europe, the US, Asia – creating ripples on the water. Human Nature is built upon the previous seminar series “Madarundan”, born in the wake of the Rhoca Gil scandal in Hallandsåsen when environmentally harmful toxins leaked into nature and affected the residents and animals nearby. Since then, the content has evolved, and the seminar has been held both in Stockholm and on the Bjäre Peninsula, with selected segments broadcasted on the Swedish television channel Kunskapskanalen.
