Future Foundation

Future Foundation is an ecosystem of projects united by the goal of continuation and sustainable flourishing of life in the long-term future.


The future of life is not guaranteed. It never was, but we now have unprecedented insight into the risks facing the entire living system, including not only humans but all living beings on our planet. We are witnessing systemic, interconnected polycrisis that affect social, ecological, psychological and spiritual levels.


Addressing these challenges requires both rigorous analysis backed by institutional sciences and deep wisdom that transcends purely rational approach.


Our contribution is developing an ecosystem of projects in three interconnected areas:


PAST — We study and cultivate ancient wisdom, including traditional psychotechnologies and sacred practices, that has supported human flourishing across diverse cultures and time periods.


FUTURE — We expand our vision of possible futures and the evolution of life. We imagine and prototype regenerative futures, equitable futures, living futures — possibilities worth working toward.


PRESENT — We connect and empower changemakers working at the frontiers of social, spiritual, environmental, and organizational evolution.


We are connected with our ancestors — from the past come energy and resources. We make choices in the present, deciding toward which version of the future we direct our intentions.


From the future come meanings and dreams. There are many possible futures,and those toward which we direct our energy begin to support us in the present.


Life flows from past to future and seeks to continue through us. We help sustain this flow.

Global Education Futures
This Report is a product of a long-term cooperation between Global Education Futures and WorldSkills Russia experts. We believe that mankind should take a serious approach towards the formation of a desired image of the future. One should not treat the future as a simple continuation of the present, as if tomorrow does not differ from the previous day. Education and skill development is one of the most conservative areas. Sometimes training programmes remain unchanged for decades. We believe that this approach will lead us nowhere. We hope that this Report will contribute to the formation of a probable positive image of the future, which in turn will require conscious joint efforts of many actors of modern economy. Here it is summary of the report.
Global Education Futures
This report is the culmination to date of Global Education Futures (GEF) explorations of how to design, prototype, and evolve educational systems and build learners capacity to co-create thriving futures while collaborating globally in a complexifying world. Created in 2014 as an international platform bringing together shapers and sherpas of global educational systems,
Global Education Futures provided a forum for international dialogues and collective creativity sessions in the US, Russia, European Union, Asia, Latin America, South Africa, and New Zealand.
Steffi Bednarek
This article explores psychological responses to climate change with the lenses of brain hemisphere imbalance, the fragmentation process of collective trauma and the Jungian maturation theory of two halves of life, which views suffering as a necessary component in the move towards a ripened culture. The perspective of climate trauma is widened to an inter-generational aspect. The article argues that the disowned and marginalised aspects of society need to be re-integrated, bridging cultural compartmentalisation and balancing the unequal representation of left and right hemisphere attributes. The writing itself aims to demonstrate this by weaving in and out of different paradigms.
