“I know it may not yet look like it, but we are sowing the seeds of greatness for countless generations to come. That is the Great Work of our times. Yours and mine”.

So writes celebrated Earth lawyer and luminary in the environmental justice movement, Polly Higgins in “Dare to Be Great”, her posthumously published book in which she shares insights from her own remarkable life journey, with the aim of inspiring us to recognise and step into the greatness that lies within all of us.

 

Join Stroud Book Festival to celebrate both the publication of “Dare to Be Great”, and Polly’s extraordinary legacy with the help of three writers who have taken inspiration from Polly and her work to Stop Ecocide across the globe - Jini Reddy, Jonathon Porritt and Maddy Harland.
