Every day is a new and unpredictable narrative. We leave our comfort zones and commit to open-willed, open-minded, open-hearted inquiries that help us to grow and change—inquiries that can offer glimpses of the future. As we think about the future—the future of our world and ourselves—we consider how we’ll navigate the journey…and who we may be at the journey’s end. Yale Schwarzman Center invites undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to share creative responses to the following questions:
- How do you listen to your environment, and to yourself, to discern what the future might hold?
- How do you let go of old paradigms to adapt to the future as it emerges?
We encourage submissions that reflect diverse experiences and voices. Share your personal stories, cultural perspectives, or experiences, which can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of your reflection on living from the future as it emerges.
To embrace the breadth of students' experiences and creative expressions, we are seeking well-crafted and thought-provoking music, film, photography, poetry, dance, and other genres of multimedia storytelling.
