Slow down!
We explore the slow movement, a philosophy that suggests slowing down could offer a more meaningful way to live.
Is our modern obsession with speed damaging us? This week we explore the slow movement, a philosophy that challenges our fixation with productivity and suggests slowing down could offer a more meaningful way to live.
Joined by Dr Joanne Lee from the University of Warwick, we visit a school garden and restaurant in Malawi to see how Slow Food is influencing how people grow and consume food. And presenter Myra Anubi takes part in an immersive Slow Art experience in London.
