Here, we have curated four of those shared themes that illustrate the how, why, and what of the transformations that the Untitled community wants to […]
How to build an agenda for transformation at a Festival and beyond
The second Untitled festival in September was an experiment on developing an agenda for transformation together. Each session was a building block of this agenda. To bridge the diverse topics covered across the two days, we asked the hosts to contribute insights from their sessions on the ongoing social transformation to our agenda development process. […]

The Democratic Climate Model is an innovation for climate action at a local level.

Imagination to Legislation: Powerful Perception Shifts to Build Imaginative Capacity and New Systems by Phoebe Tickell // NATURE-HUMAN
Rather than seek answers to “what is right” externally to ourselves, Moral Imaginations invites a discovery of purpose and morality by directly cultivating imaginative explorations of our moral sense, deepening empathy and igniting prosocial creativity. The potential to build civic movements, local solidarity and networks of action from this place is exciting and under exploration. […]
Humble Governance – The Colorado Experiment by Demos Helsinki & RadicalxChange // NEW MODELS OF ECONOMY & GOVERNANCE

Unfortunately, in a world of high uncertainty and continuous crisis, such a position leads to political stalemate. This impedes our society’s ability to change at a time of great transformational need. Agenda track: 5 New models of economy & governance […]
