Futures literacy

According to Unesco, Futures Literacy is an evolving set of skills and experiences, mostly learned in collective action, that everyone can and should acquire. It allows people to understand the real-world effects of imagining futures. And therefore, possibly, to connect anticipation to action. Together with two partners in different contexts – Plurality University Network (France), BrusselAVenir (Belgium) and Youthwatch (Slovakia) – we merged our respective expertises to develop futures literacy practices catered to young people. The project is funded by Erasmus+.

The track that you hear here, is from one group of multi-species, multicultural and multilingual musicians that shortly after the recording went on a world tour.

20:40 Slessurb Show

It's July 2040 when a TV-like show called "20:40 Slessurb Show" hacks all devices and broadcasts itself throughout the city. The show features a series of events and objects that move beyond the current societal dysfunctionalities and seeks new ways to meet, socialize, and bond. The show's purpose is to make people connect, break down barriers, and create a healthier multispecies habitat.
