SHAPING THE FURTHER FUTURE Our mission is to create space for the exploration of the further future. The further future represents what can happen after what is predictably next. Setting our focal point further than the future supports two important concepts for our organization. First, the opportunity to question the values and assumptions of how things are today and in the foreseeable future. Second, everyone has the opportunity to shape the further future. With the first two years behind us and a mission and set of values to guide us as we move forward, we are now focusing on the evolution of the Further Future concept. We continue to explore and experiment with various alternative forms the Further Future concept and values might take, and we look forward to experiencing them with you in the coming years.
