Need a break?

Hello ,

Obviously, the shame of flying was still in its infancy in your time in 2023... My father was telling me the other day that it was Greta Thunberg who, in the early 2020s, helped push up the flygskam.

When you watch record after record in the airline industry fall in 2023, you think that no matter how much you deprive yourself of flying, it won't make much difference. And yet...

Step by step, you're helping to rethink the travel experience itself. After all, what's the point of going to the other side of the world if you don't know the territory you're living in? You reconsider time, encounters, letting go, moving as a real stage of the journey...

In fact, the Sailcoop company, with its sailboat crossings to Corsica, has already been showing you since 2022 what traveling will mean for us in 2033.

We wish you an inspiring summer,
Joséphine since 2033

Why not turn the summer downtime into a circular economy uptime?

As summer dawns on us and things start to slow down (admittedly only a bit), it might be the right time to take a step back and get some inspiration to start the new year afresh.

Good news: at Circulab, we've been working for 10+ years to raise awareness on the need to transform current economic models... and we gathered it all in one place. That is: a whole collection of education content, keynotes, broadcasts, podcasts and studies.

So, if you are looking for something refreshing this summer, head straight on to Circulab Academy.

👩‍🎓 Being a leader in an uncertain world
Students from Mexico, China, the Philippines, the USA and Turkey were in Paris as part of a seminar organised by ESSCA (Angers business school) on the theme of the uncertainty of today's world for tomorrow's leaders... a huge programme. To help them re-programme their mental models, they had the chance to take part in a Circular Canvas discovery session. New seeds planted in the minds of tomorrow's leaders.
