<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear friends,</div><div><br></div><div>Earlier this year, our Dutch colleague, Dorine Van Norren, wrote an incisive critique of the contemporary development model on REDWeb, and contrasted that approach with the inherent strengths of some traditional societal perspectives, which offer alternative perspectives on that question of global importance. Here are a couple of links to Dorine's video lectures, which further explain her immensely well articulated ideas. Please take a look. Dorine is copied on this email if you would like to contact her directly.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div><br></div><div>Pallav</div><div><br></div><div><h1 class="gmail-style-scope gmail-ytd-watch-metadata"><font size="2">1. Global Philosophies & the SDGs: Ubuntu, Buen Vivir, and Gross National Happiness</font></h1></div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ3b-qtYFUc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ3b-qtYFUc</a></div><div><div class="gmail-ytp-right-controls"></div><div id="gmail-player" class="gmail-style-scope gmail-ytd-watch-flexy"><div id="gmail-player-container-outer" class="gmail-style-scope gmail-ytd-watch-flexy"><div id="gmail-player-container-inner" class="gmail-style-scope gmail-ytd-watch-flexy"><div id="gmail-player-container" role="complementary" class="gmail-style-scope gmail-ytd-watch-flexy" style="touch-action: auto;"><font size="2"><span id="gmail-ytd-player" class="gmail-style-scope gmail-ytd-watch-flexy">
