✨The Future Is Learning From Us✨
What remains when everything we hold in common is stripped away?
Every community carries both wisdom and wounds — shaped by stories, systems, traditions, and lived experience. As we build new technologies and imagine new futures, how do we carry forward what strengthens connection, trust, reciprocity, and hope while interrupting patterns that continue harm and support systemic barriers?

Join complexity scholar-practitioner Stephany Peterson for a conversation on what nature, community, and generations of human experience can teach us about the future we are creating together.

Civic Tech is about Technology + Social Good—this is an event for both.
