On the 20th of June, we are bringing together a number of organisations and individuals inspired by E.F. Schumacher to share how his work has shaped practical action for sustainable change. Learn more about Margaret Gardner, who will be sharing how Practical Action thinks technology can help end poverty and protect our planet.
