Cindy Forde

My work is dedicated to transforming how we understand and act towards our incredible planet, Earth, the living interconnected system that keep us all alive. I try to tell different kinds of stories, to help people to understand how to look after Earth and all her creatures. For some years I worked with businesses and governments, though I constantly asked myself, what if someone had told these people the right kind of stories when they were children? They wouldn’t dream of doing these stupid things that destroy the planet and people’s lives.

Obviously, the best people to tell these stories to would be children, to create a different relationship with Earth from the very beginning.

I'm the founder of Planetari, a global education platform that equips children to be the innovators of a brighter world. I have an MSc in Sustainability and Business Practice, led Cambridge Science Centre as CEO and Blue Marine Foundation as MD. I believe there the deep magic in our natural world and that everything starts with the imagination.
