The Talk
The future (still) belongs to all of us
The headlines of our times are enough to make anyone feel helpless. But when you look beyond those headlines, into the emerging practices of democracy and community power, you see a whole other world taking shape. This future is being built from the foundational insight that all of us are smarter than any of us, and that it is by tapping into the ideas, energy and resources of everyone that we will face the challenges of our time.
Jon will share stories of this Citizen Future as it takes shape around the world, from Taiwan to Nairobi, as well as the tools and approaches that you can use in your communities of place, purpose and passion to be part of building it.
