MRU Institute for Community Prosperity and MRU Changemakers Initiative presents:

The Millennial Dream

Thursday, September 29, 2016 @ 5:00 PM
Caffe Artigiano - 5010 Richard Rd SW, Calgary, AB (across the street from MRU)
FREE with RSVP

On Thursday, September 29th, we are inviting all members of the MRU and Calgary communities - students, faculty, staff, alumni, and beyond - to join us for a screening of the 45 minute documentary "The Millennial Dream".

The American Dream Is the cultural motif that has inspired North America for the last century. Work hard, save, sacrifice and you will get ahead. America offers the freedom of upward mobility. But over the last decade the American Dream has been called into question. For many, it no longer seems to be working. The Millennial Dream is a feature length documentary that explores the values that may replace the cultural motif known as The American Dream.

As the Millennial generation becomes the most significant portion of the work force what will change about what we want from our jobs, what education will look like, what kinds of companies will succeed in the new economy and what kinds of living communities will be desired? And what can cities and regions do to attract the new economy? Interviews with experts such as Seth Godin and the personal reflections of young workers will stir debate and dialogue around what might emerge as the Millennial Dream.

Followed by a community discussion with a panel of Calgary changemakers:

Greg Hemmings, Director of The Millennial Dream, Founder of Hemmings House Pictures 
Louisa Ferrel, Founder of True Buch Kombucha
Jonathan Veale, Civic Innovation YYC Lab
Joel DeWiel, Millennial and MRU Student

Community Moderator: Neetu Sidhu, Senior Manager, Alberta BoostR, ATB Financial
