How can your stories contribute to a more equal, just, and regenerative world? What role does art play in your healing and growth? 💭 The narratives we construct for ourselves, both spoken and unspoken, possess significant power. They shape our identities, foster healing, and inspire change. Artists – filmmakers, writers, poets, photographers, journalists, dancers – play a pivotal role in this process. Their creations help us remember, heal, reflect, and learn. Stay tuned for our upcoming Substack Channel, which will emphasize collective #storytelling to promote #cultural understanding, embrace complexity, and create new narratives for the future. Together, we can inspire and engage our community to take collective action, crafting a future that honors our past and envisions a better tomorrow 🌎 We would greatly appreciate your involvement in the Substack Channel as it takes shape. Do you wish to contribute with your perspectives and voice your stories on #impact investing, investing for system change, ethical and responsible application of technology, or how the arts may support new narratives on the future we want to create? This ties in with the gradual development of the concept of #KFF25, which revolves around shaping and unpacking the #stories we hold, tell, embody, and share for future generations. Special, heartfelt thank you to some of our creatives and artists at KFF24; Jurgis Didžiulis, Silas Henriksen, Dumi Right, John Michael Schert, Wieteke Zuure, Jan Khür, New Nordic Way Photos by our amazing photographers captivating the magic: Jan Khür

In an environment where open, substantive conversations thrive, we uncover the profound value of genuine connection ⚡️ Here, every voice is not just heard but respected, everyone has the space to #reflect, and there is a steadfast commitment to honesty. This nurturing space demands mutual understanding and respect, paving the way for insightful and innovative ideas.

In the tapestry of personal and professional growth, the act of sharing becomes an essential thread. We learn and grow in diverse ways, drawing from our experiences, memories, and the wisdom gleaned over time. As we reminisce, we retrieve past lessons tucked away in the recesses of our minds, integrating them into our present endeavors. This process not only enriches our understanding but also empowers us to navigate challenges with greater insight and resilience. To harness the full potential of our accumulated knowledge, we must boldly engage in meaningful dialogue and exchange. Through openness and honesty, we cultivate an environment where ideas flourish and perspectives evolve. It is through this ongoing exchange that we forge paths toward innovation and sustainable progress, honoring the past while embracing the opportunities of the future. Let us continue to share, learn, and grow together, drawing strength from our collective experiences and nurturing a culture of thoughtful exploration and collaboration 💚🌱 Photos by Jan Khür

Rethinking Power for a Just Future 🌍🌱 Inspired by Katapult Future Fest 2024, Louise Kjellerup Roper, CEO of Volans, critically examines the entrenched power dynamics that shape our world. To create a future of thriving, connection, and equality, we must confront the reality of power today. The richest 1% control nearly half of global wealth, while over half of the world's population shares just 1.2%. Roper argues for a radical shift: power must be distributed, not handed down, to truly change the system. Current leaders should prepare the ground for new leadership by creating inclusive spaces and breaking down old structures. The conversation about reshaping power and fostering a more just and equitable world is essential, as we look ahead for #KFF25 and create new narratives for hope and action.

It was very fascinating to participate in an incredible acro-yoga session led by Wieteke Zuure. Not only was this session about physical strength, but it was also about building #trust, communication, and understanding boundaries. Our #KFF24 attendees experienced firsthand the importance of embodied #communication, reciprocal reactions, accurate timing, and the fearlessness to try again after a fall. Whether from the top of someone's knees or focusing on the details of a handgrip, this workshop encouraged us to literally change our perspective and see the world differently. As we explore trust, fear, and the flow of play, we discover what happens when trust is built between each other. This dynamic not only enhances our physical abilities but also strengthens our approach to #investments, team collaborations, and #innovative endeavors. How can you apply these principles of trust and balance in your professional journey? Photo credit: Jan Khür | Studio Abrakadabra
