Through an innovative and interactive approach, our platform supports you in creating resilient futures for yourself, your children, schools, communities, and workforces.
Our Point of View
We believe this is a time of tremendous opportunity, it is also a time that many can and will be left behind. While there is the potential for future opportunities to be available to more people, there is an equal chance for higher levels of inequality to emerge. We believe with advanced thinking, the right skills, and partnerships all communities can be part of creating this new and exhilarating future.
​
To do this we must:
​
-
Understand where our fears and anxiety is coming from. This understanding will help us make clear decisions right now that impact our future
-
Learn about the future and what is coming, to reduce our stress and prepare for the future.
-
Identify the skills related to coping with the changes and preparing for the future
-
Practice these skills so that we can all lead a resilient, happy, healthy, and meaningful life
What We Know
-
Our dynamic and rapidly changing world can create anxiety for all of us
-
Stress and mental health issues from the constant changes will impact people in ways we cannot see today
-
How we used to learn will no longer prepare us for success in the future
-
We will need to quickly learn, unlearn and relearn to stay current
-
Our work trajectory will be disrupted
-
We must rethink enormous ethical issues
-
We will need new paths to career and life planning
-
Although many jobs humans currently hold will be replaced, there are many job functions only humans can complete
Our Approach

SHARE. Curate and share research with the community
-
UNDERSTAND. Work with individuals, schools, communities, and organizations to understand the impact of future changes through fun, experiential, interactive activities.
-

​​
It is our belief we are on the verge of major changes with bewildering new possibilities. No matter what your age, new frameworks for understanding the world, new skills, and lifelong learning are needed to build futures.
