Discovering Humanity’s Options For Success

"To make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone."
— R. Buckminster Fuller

How do we navigate a rapidly changing world?

Humanity, at this critical juncture in history, contends with changes of immense complexity. The emergence of a new world order, combined with the dawning of the Anthropocene - where human activity is the dominant influence on Earth’s systems - has humanity reeling. The scale and pace of unfolding events impedes our ability to anticipate and adequately respond to their potential impacts using traditional tools of analysis.

To create a sustainable future, we must develop effective ways to communicate, understand and engage with the underlying global forces at play, including those contributing to the negative consequences of human activity, such as human-induced climate change. As a global community we need resources and experiential tools for envisioning whole systems and understanding the dynamic nature of interrelationships within those systems. And most importantly, we must discover large scale trends, patterns and principles for anticipating, recognizing, and solving humanity’s most pressing problems — the majority of which are global in scope. 

Empowering Global Problem-Solving

Why World Game™ Workshop?

Imagine gaining access to tools and processes designed to illuminate accelerating threats to our well-being while informing us of opportunities to make positive progress in the face of these challenges.

The World Game™ Workshops will offer dynamic, real-time, data-driven experiences designed to:

  • Develop a global systems literacy toolkit and skills for application 

  • Help participants identify real leverage points for change

  • Empower individuals with the tools to make informed decisions

  • Inspire action towards a thriving future for both humanity and the planet

With access to these resources, we are well-equipped to participate in and inform the decision-making processes that determine humanity’s fate. We transform from passive observers to active participants in shaping our future.

This is why we are reviving and evolving Buckminster Fuller’s World Game™ Workshops.

Drawing from nearly 40 years of experience of successful participatory global simulations inspired by design scientist R. Buckminster Fuller’s visionary work, we are developing an innovative program that integrates:

  • Interactive and Immersive Learning Experiences 

  • Insights from Cognitive Science and Online Gaming

  • Lessons from Social Science and Historical Data

  • 21st Century Technology and Real-time Data

A New Way to Engage with Global Systems

The World Game™ Workshop will offer a series of educational experiences designed to illuminate the global systems dynamics shaping our world and guide participants to discover their own agency in creating a world in which all of humanity can prosper, without compromising Earth’s ecological integrity. 

World Game™ is a strategy of the individual and how he can gain adequate information about what he is experiencing in life.

“We must integrate the world’s electrical-energy networks. Electrical-energy integration of the night and day regions of the Earth will bring all the capacity into use at all times, thus overnight doubling the generating capacity of humanity because it will integrate all the most extreme night and day peaks and valleys. From the Bering Straits, Europe and Africa will be integrated westwardly through the U.S.S.R., and China, Southeast Asia; India will become network-integrated southwardly through the U.S.S.R. Central and South America will be integrated southwardly through Canada, the U.S.A., and Mexico.”

THE WORLD GRID PROJECT

The World Grid Project’s goal is to increase awareness of Bucky Fuller’s concept of the world power grid to the general public and to provoke discussion among scientists and policymakers focused on climate change solutions. Bucky viewed the grid as a whole system, meaning globally interconnected. His whole systems analysis/synthesis revealed a number of synergies that would emerge from such a grid including the realization of it operating with 100% renewable energy via cross-border trading of electricity that transcended arbitrary political boundaries.
