The 7th Annual Global “Zeitgeist Day” Symposium promotes global unity, social betterment and a more humane society.
Also known as “ZDay” for short, this global awareness campaign features a main event with prominent Movement speakers and guests from all over the world, while working in solidarity with hundreds of other parallel events occurring during the same day and/or weekend.
Prior main events have been documented by news agencies, including the New York Times and Huffington Post in America.
Contrary to most conferences of this nature, TZM does not see needed social changes coming from the political or economic establishment. It sees it coming from the public itself through grassroots reform since TZM views the core problems in the world as actually originating from the very foundation of the eco-politico establishment to begin with. The problem is the system itself, in the view of The Movement.
The 2015 symposium is titled “The Time Is Now” and addresses the growing severity of emerging social destabilization, war, income inequality, slavery, dramatic environmental failures and, in short, overall public health and societal crises playing out on the Earth’s stage today.
This five-hour event features speakers covering a range of issues, from The Zeitgeist Movement’s train of thought, observations and proposals; to effective activism, transitional possibilities, the nature of communication, dealing with opposition and much more. A live, free webcast of the full event occurred online.
