Engaging Across Difference to Build Social Connectedness
Learning From the Future catalyzes social connectedness through community conversations, exposing organizational systems, and identifying leverage for change.
We invite you to become part of the conversation.
WE NEED YOUR VOICE
The unintended consequences of avoiding difficult conversations about race and race relations in the Charlotte community and in communities across the country are becoming more and more apparent. This is especially true when it comes to issues like social justice, health care, economic mobility and education. In addition, circumstances like the COVID 19 pandemic have only served to point out and magnify the disconnects in the systemic picture.
While neighborhoods and leaders are clamoring for action, it is clear that every idea, every insight and every action that emerges will have its origins in our willingness to engage in open, honest conversation.
HOW IT WORKS
It Starts with a Conversation
We begin by having the tough conversation in a way that invites stories, voices, and allows all participants to be heard
To Unearth the Systems
We utilize the information from the stories to identify trends and capture the larger story at play - the system that is driving behavior
And Create Change
We then look at root causes and effects, uncovering the greatest leverage points to create the most change

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We know that systems drive behavior. If we can change the system, we can create a better society for all.
We believe in the power of people to create change - and it begins with dialogue and understanding.
We can only create the change we seek when we come together.
There has never
been a better time to act
Whether you are a community, a neighborhood, a school, a small business, a corporate group, or a non-profit, you engage with people and are part of a system. If you want that system to work for all of your constituents, then this is the time to act.
