Day 2 at the Circus Festival of Creativity in Sydney featured ‘The Battle of Big Thinking’, won by Rev. Graham Long from The Wayside Chapel
Day two of the Circus Festival of Creativity in Sydney featured 15 thinkers taking to the stage at ‘The Battle of Big Thinking’.
The day was won by Reverend Graham Long (pictured left) from The Wayside chapel for his big idea that there is no such thing as a single person. He pleaded that human beings are hard wired as relational and that trying to operate individually violated the essence of what it means to be human.
Rogan Jacobson, (pictured above), teacher and previous Battle winner returned to defend his 2011 title.
Master of Ceremony was Julian Morrow, (pictured left) and speakers included:-
Tim Costello – CEO, World Vision
