A festival for futures and systemic thinkers, innovation-seekers, creatives, purpose-driven organizations and policy-makers to collectively create the futures of urban lives, equitable societies through and beyond technology.
FD24 – Democratizing futures
On the 50th anniversary of Portuguese democracy, we gathered in Lisbon to tackle global futures. Attendees from all over the world joined us to co-create narratives that encouraged action.
Estufa Fria was more than an oasis of serenity in the city. It embodied the paradigm shift that Future Day envisions.
After a warm welcome at our headquarters, facilitators guided different groups to their assigned spots in the neighbourhood of Marvila. Each path was an immersive journey connecting them with change-makers, design studios, and collectives shaping the Futures we envision right in the heart of Lisbon.
Such expansive experiences generated incredible insights. The different groups gathered to converse, network, and share their thoughts. To close a magical evening, the moment was accompanied by crafted drinks and local artists.
