Z-Day 2017

9TH ANNUAL EDUCATIONAL SYMPOSIUM TOWARDS GLOBAL UNITY AND ABUNDANCE

On Sunday the 9th of April The Zeitgeist Movement in association with RBENZ present Z-Day, the 9th annual educational symposium towards global unity and abundance.

Z-Day (short for Zeitgeist Day) occurs annually with hundreds of parallel events across 60 countries. Z-Day aims to bring a focus to our current social and economic problems by advocating a new economic paradigm called Resource Based Economics.

This year the New Zealand event will take place on:

Sunday April 9th, 2017, Grey Lynn Community Hall, 510 Richmond Road, Auckland.

Doors open 2pm to 6pm. Koha or free entry.

We stand at the edge of a new era, in the last year we have seen major shifts in the collective social atmosphere, from Brexit to Trump to increased terrorism. What is going on? How do we prepare for the future and what can be done now?

Join us as we discuss these structural issues, ways to self organize and prepare New Zealand for the new paradigms taking place.

Z-day 2017 will host exciting presentations by the thought-leaders and change-makers from around Australasia.

Our speakers will look at solutions towards a sustainable and equitable future, whilst questioning the roles of politics, social organization, science & technology.

Resource Based Economics What is it?

It is a socio-economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude.

RBE utilizes technology to its fullest to provide the most efficient, ecologically safe solution. From products to distribution of resource to transport and housing.
