Laila Harré – It is time to Rethink the System

After the last election Laila Harré felt not only beaten, but the need to withdraw and not actively participate in the political system. So her psychology lecturer sister Niki Harré, (author of “Psychology for a Better World”) picked her up and suggested they went on a pilgrimage - walking and hitchhiking around North Island, carrying no money, presenting in different centres and listening to feedback from the community. They created a tour that went from February 1st to the 28th 2015 in 27 different centres. Laila tells us of the way they presented and got people talking. There is a strong commonality of deep human values and to move forward successfully we need to recognise them and ensure that our social systems and institutions address those values. The vision is, after all, in the hearts of the people.
