A CHANGING WORLD
Since 2020, the world has seen seismic changes beyond our wildest imagination. A ‘new normal’ has become the normal, in place of pre-pandemic conditions. With such shifts, however, comes an opportunity to explore what it means to be in a world that has moved away from former conventions. ‘A Changing World’ encourages participants to think about the present and possible futures: speculate, envision, & share your vision with us.
