Fortune Tellus
A tool for activating the imagination in the context of self, sustainability and the climate crisis. We combine futures thinking and storytelling to unlock the power of the imagination to envision more hopeful futures that can motivate, inspire and accelerate us towards more effective climate action.
Vision and Mission
What began as a creative response to the lack of creativity in the sustainability debate has developed into a multi-purpose experience, at the centre of which is a mission to help anyone (everyone) to better understand the role they can play in climate action.We are proud to be part of a growing movement which places the imagination at the centre of innovation, and applies systems thinking to reveal truly regenerative sustainability strategies. Ultimately, we acknowledge and celebrate that there are many different ways to be a force for positive change aside from the “climate activist” label as it is conventionally applied.
Meet the team
Fortune Tellus was conceived within Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, by researchers in MA Innovation Management. Since graduating, the project has expanded beyond academia and is being continually evolved to reach new audiences. The team are looking forward to adapting to new opportunities for radical imagination to be discovered, strengthened and applied to solve complex problems.
