Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
FEE FOR SERVICE: THE GUILD'S CORE LEARNING PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO CREATE TRANSFORMATIONAL EXPERIENCES THROUGH MASTERY. OUR FACILITATORS AND ADVISORS EMBODY THEIR AREAS OF EXPERTISE WITH HUMILITY AND AUTHENTICITY SO THEY CAN HOLD SPACE FOR MAGIC TO HAPPEN WHILE IMPARTING THE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM EMBEDDED IN THEIR OWN PRACTICE OF FUTURE ARCHITECTURE.
SHARED FUTURES: A SHARED FUTURE IS LIKE A "START-UP," BUT INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON BUSINESSES FOR THE MARKETPLACE, IT FOCUSES ON COLLABORATIONS FOR THE COMMONS. THE GOAL IS TO IMAGINE AND PROTOTYPE BOLD IDEAS FOR OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE. ONCE THE SHARED FUTURES ARE ENVISIONED, THE GUILD OF FUTURE ARCHITECTS HELPS TO INCUBATE THEM THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE PROTOTYPING PROCESS BY CONNECTING THEM TO RESOURCES, PROVIDING COACHING AND ADVISORY SERVICES, AND AMPLIFYING THEIR EFFORTS THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA PLATFORMS.
NEW/S INITIATIVE: THIS THREE-YEAR PILOT PROGRAM FOCUSES ON THE FUTURE OF JOURNALISM, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO BIPOC MAKERS AND COMMUNITIES; WOMEN; LGBTQIA+; AND OTHER UNDERSERVED PEOPLE. HOW CAN FORESIGHT DRIVE TRANSFORMATION? HOW CAN DEI INITIATIVES MOVE FROM PRIORITIZING SHARE-OF-VOICE TOWARD DEEPENING BELONGING FOR ALL? HOW CAN JOURNALISM MOVE FROM ITS CURRENT STATE OF FRANTIC 24/7 REACTION TO ONE OF INTENTION AND CONNECTION? WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, THE NEW/S INITIATIVE ALSO IDENTIFIES FUTURE ARCHITECTS IN THE FIELD TO HELP CULTIVATE THEIR PRACTICES AS INDIVIDUALS AND WITHIN SHARED FUTURES.
