The Future Collective of Trust

When talking about better or even utopian futures, dreamers and idealists often paint a picture of cultures of diversity and inclusivity, where no one is left behind.

But when talking about current challenges in reality, there are a lot of people to blame – and suddenly, the path towards such an inclusive society seems rather exclusive. There’s a disconnect between how to treat people in the future, and how to treat them now. Is there a way to reconcile them?

This was the question we asked ourselves when forming the „Future Collective Of Trust“ – a small group of artivists, who wanted to bring a small utopian moment into our present.

We realized that the pathway to better futures will inevitably be paved with people making mistakes. But society needs to find a way to deal with them, without ostracizing them, otherwise there is no real progress happening.
This is where we looked into the past for inspiration.

Leuphana Food Forest

When I was working on a farm in Canada, I quickly realized: The future of agriculture not only needs to become sustainable, but regenerative. This is where food forests and other forms of agroforestry catched my interest. Lucky me, there were plans to create a food forest on campus!

The TRAFOS are not only a space for inspiration, experimentation and co-creation. They are also a diverse community of very driven people, who want to innovate and take part in shaping our future.
