an experience that brings people together to challenge and spark a new, collective narrative
(re)Designing Sustainability
After a sold-out first edition in June, Futures & Sustainability returns to Tolhuistuin this autumn! This second edition is an interactive and immersive evening where bold thinkers and engaged participants come together to reimagine sustainability through the lens of futures literacy.
We face rapidly mounting pressures from issues from the climate crisis to economic uncertainty.
This event is an opportunity to pause, reimagine, and build resilience by exploring Futures Literacy—a tool that moves us beyond short-term fixes and compliance-driven strategies toward meaningful, long-term transformation.

Meaningful Exchange

Who will be there
A diverse mix of leaders, sustainability practitioners, and forward-thinkers from various sectors—all committed to exploring what’s next and driving change together.

"Many in the sustainability community carry deep questions about the impact of their work. To me, it felt like everyone who came to the event was seeking an answer.
The combination of sensorial experience, group play, and powerful storytelling created a space where those questions could be explored - not necessarily resolved, but witnessed, shared, and reimagined together."

“This event feels like a new league on its own. I left energized, inspired, and full of fresh ideas. The space that Darina Elencheva and Alba Tiley curated was deeply thoughtful—inviting real conversations, envisioning new futures, and a sense of collective momentum.
It wasn’t just talk; it was a meaningful push toward reimagining what sustainability can truly become.”
