FUTURE WALK
A history of tomorrow
The cooperating global society on planet Earth has turned the corner – global warming has been limited to 1.65°C! The implementation of Agenda2030 has worked, poverty, hunger, social inequalities and injustices are a thing of the past. Biodiversity is regenerating in diverse urban ecosystems and new species are exploring livable cities, clean air, fresh water and nourishing soils. Children are playing in the streets, geographical boundaries are giving way to cultural circles, diversity is colorful and neighborhood and solidarity are consumed. The anthropogenic impact and ecological footprint of humans is grandchild-friendly and Earth Overshot Day is celebrated peacefully around the world on December 31.
Learning future skills, vision and transformation competence has created the future and empowered a new generation of people to work towards shaping a sustainable co-, environment and afterworld.

Would you like to know more about this world? Become a part of it, be creative and help shape it yourself?

Then join us on October 14, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. for a journey of thought in the Zukunftsraum (Quartier Zukunft, Rintheimer Straße 46, 76131 Karlsruhe). From there, we will move through the city and end our journey at the Triangel on Kronenplatz. The interactive work phase, discussion and reflection will then take place there.
