Ideas to Unfuck the World

It’s time to feed and free our collective , radical imagination to envision and shape a fairer world! Facilitated by a crew of rebellious students and educators from Youth Inc, this activation will support you to rediscover the innate power of (y)our imagination as a powerful force for sparking and sustaining change shaping efforts. We will share with you some of the frameworks, processes and tools we’ve been harnessing in our own attempts to shape a more just and joyful future and will make space for us to begin exploring and expressing our personal and collective ideas to unfuck the world. This activation has been shaped by our journey working together on the inaugural Ideas to Unfuck the World Incubator 2020 and we are excited to share stories, tips, tricks and tools with one another in this creative and playful activation.
