Storytelling

Positive narratives

The stories we tell about the future shape the actions we take today. When we share stories of possibility – grounded in reality, yet bold in vision – we open the door to new ways of thinking, connecting, and creating.

Written words, illustrations, projects and actions carry ideas across time and place, sparking connections and inspiring collective action. They reveal patterns, open opportunities, and expand what we believe is possible.

At [y]our 2040, we create to ignite imagination, drive action, and make the future tangible. We share ideas worth growing, questions worth asking, and examples worth celebrating – because when we can clearly see a better future, we’re far more likely to create it.
