| Location: Adelaide Town Hall – Meeting Hall (venue change) Cities are made up mostly of strangers with often vastly different values and views of the world. We know that trust is essential for wellbeing, collaboration and getting the things done that really matter to the people, efficiently and effectively. It can’t be faked or feigned or forged – at least not for very long. So how might cities nurture and nourish trust? This is an ‘off the couch’ style presentation and Q+A regarding the importance of trust and empathy in all aspects of urban life. Confirmed Speakers: Dr Fiona Kerr – Chief Neuroscientist and CEO of the NeuroTech Institute Fred Heidt – CEO Youth Inc.

Adelaide is built on an ancient place between pristine oceans and an ancient mountain belt. It is a unique geographical, ecological and cultural place, with strong First Nation’s cultures, thriving arts and cultural festivals and great universities – all surrounded by parkland, pristine coastline and productive food and wine regions. As part of Global Conscious Cities Festival, Conscious Adelaide will focus on bringing the voice of young people to conversations about the identity, mood, mindsets and meanings of the place, in a festival of questions and conversations about what it means ‘to be’ Adelaide, now and into the future. Conscious Adelaide is presented by a network of contributors woven together byUrban Mind Studio, with the Commissioner for Children and Young People South Australia, the NeuroTech Institute, Youth Inc, the City of Adelaide,Global Shapers Adelaide Hub, Festivals Adelaide, MOD, Imprints Booksellers and the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects South Australia
