Life is changing fast, and we all feel it.
Life is changing fast, and we all feel it.
Everything seems to be shifting at once.
Families juggle more than ever.
Small businesses feel lucky just to stay steady.
Young people worry about what their future might look like.
Our neighbourhoods feel different from just a few years ago.
What if we looked at these shifts together, calmly, honestly, and with creativity?

futuros km 0 works with families, young people, local entrepreneurs and communities to explore how everyday experience, shared imagination, and collective creativity can help us navigate what’s coming next.
How we work
How we work
We approach complex situations together, with honest conversations, shared observations, and small experiments, while keeping things local, small-scale, and practical.
A few examples of what we do:
• Supporting families to unpack what feels confusing or worrying about change.
• Workshops on real issues: heat, rising prices, school pressure, tourism, shifts at work.
• Helping small businesses read their surroundings differently and anticipate what might be coming.
• Year-long activities for young people: part workshop, part exploration, part “what is happening in the world and how do we deal with it?”

After a few sessions, participants begin to:
Adapt with curiosity
Act with more intention and less urgency, feel less reactive, and become more comfortable not having immediate or final answers.
Engage with uncertainty
Approach challenges with experimentation, combine ideas that wouldn’t normally meet, and feel permission to think differently.
See their own influence
Notice patterns, spot early signs of change, and discover they have more influence than they assumed.
Connect locally
Feel more at home in their communities and notice the resources and opportunities already around them.
We are open by design
We are open by design
We believe ideas get stronger when they’re shared: when people reflect together, learn from each other, and build on what already exists around them.
Being open by design means:
Being open by design means:
• Making our thinking visible
• Sharing what works, and what doesn’t
• Building on each other’s insights
• Strengthening local networks before reaching for external fixes
A few examples of how this shows in practice:
• Our non-private group sessions and tools are documented and shared.
• You are welcome to join as a participant, or observe as a spectator.
• We do not take promotional photos during sessions, but we do document the futures we want to grow.
Our core values
Our core values
Supportive
We encourage people to explore new ways of doing things together through shared learning and practical mutual support.
Ecosystemic
We see urban areas as interconnected systems, where businesses, schools, homes, and public spaces influence one another. Connecting people across sectors helps the whole community become more resilient.
Open
We make conversations, tools, and insights accessible. Participation is welcomed. Knowledge is shared. Collaboration is valued over competition.
Regenerative
We rethink how we produce, consume, and relate locally. From low-kilometre supply chains to everyday routines, we explore ways of living and working that strengthen social, economic, and environmental wellbeing.
