On Thursday 30th May 7pm CEST we hosted a special webinar to offer a first look at our new "Second Renaissance" project.

The Second Renaissance project is an introduction and guide to this moment of civilizational crisis and awakening -- and the emerging ecosystem related to it.

More about the project

The Second Renaissance project provides an introduction and guide to this moment of civilizational crisis and awakening – and the emerging ecosystem related to it.

It aims to provides an accessible entry-point – a gateway – for people to discover and make sense of this emerging moment and field. A bit like a curated art gallery for an emerging area of art.

We’re motivated by the increasing need to present these ideas and emerging ecosystem to others in an accessible way. Our experience has shown that the space can be difficult to discover, engage with, and make sense of.

For instance, there are many new terms associated with it: Metamodern, Metacrisis, Integral, Teal, Liminal Web, GameB, Regenerative, and more. This can make it confusing: it’s hard to understand what they all mean, how they all fit together – even if they point to the same thing or not. Overall, there is a lot of information and content out there, comprising many perspectives and approaches. Navigating all of this can be overwhelming and bewildering.

The project offers a simple framing narrative, along with introductions to key ideas, as well as a wiki and forum for community contribution and conversation.

Watch our preview webinar to see what’s available, and how you could get involved.
