The Location
The event could take place in Norway at a location with a unique atmosphere on the water. Hardingasete is located at a the historic site on the Ljones Peninsula with a view to the Hisfjord. The meticulously restored houses of the unorthodox conference centre stem from the 16th to 19th centuries.
They provide all amenities, including internet access.

Why Norway? Surrounded by the sea and with its characteristic nature, it is Norway's resources, in particular fossil oil, water power, maritime navigation and fishing, that have enabled the country to become one the world's richest over the past few decades - and this in spite of its relatively low population density.


This provides an ideal backdrop, between preservation and growth, for introducing the debate on value changes as a key societal challenge.
The participants from all over the world will have the opportunity there to impartand exchange their experiences and knowledge in personal dialogues.
In tranquility and seclusion, the travellers can embark here on their expedition to the future.

The Participants
The number of participants for the workshop is limited to 18. An interdisciplinary committee will suggest and nominate them.
The 16 chosen participants come from diverse social groups and different European countries. The concentration on Europe implies a common European awareness of the problem.
Representatives from science and politics, economics, technology, environment and society will set off on the Time Travel and journey together with cultural representatives and artists.
