RADICAL TRANSFORMATIONS
The FF '19 agenda is designed to inspire. We see ‘radical’ not as something negative, but to stand for nontraditional, visionary, creative, ingenious. We seek people and projects harnessing disruptive ideas to upend the status quo, challenging the dysfunctional, restructuring political and civic engagement, addressing social and environmental problems, and reframing extremist agendas (to name a few examples).
