Moment #1. The Good Ancestor exhibition: I began by opening an exhibition on future generations — a powerful reminder of our duty to be good ancestors.🇪🇺
Through art and culture, we are called to imagine and build a world that is fairer, more sustainable, and more inclusive for those who will come after us.

Great to have this exhibition on display in Europe. The projects showcased are from all around the globe and the effort to assemble it was truly international.
As @brianeno/@dark_shark and #BetteA put it: "art makes feelings happen". This is vital if we are to be #goodancestors.

Today, on the European Day for Solidarity Between Generations, we are reminded of those generations that don't yet have a seat at the table.
We joined together in a series of powerful moments:
➡️Opening of the UN exhibition “Good ancestors” on future generations at the European Commission.
➡️ Dialogue at the European Parliament on how to build a fairer, more inclusive Europe.
➡️ A high-level exchange with The Elders, bridging global wisdom with local action.
➡️ A visit to CALICO, a co-housing project bringing generations together under one roof.
Now we’re working on the first-ever EU Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness.
🗣️ Your voice matters! Tell us what intergenerational fairness means to you via the Citizens’ Engagement Platform:

Thinking of @Maintain_hive & @The_Maintainers during Danah Abdulla's #RSD11 keynote this morning.

“A repair culture requires design of the conditions to enable it, for example training people how to repair from an early age.” 💯🛠Danah Abdulla on the contradictions of sustainability and designing over time @RSDSymposium #RSD11

This @TheAtlantic piece about experiments by @charlescockell and several others does a good job of mentioning many of the maintenance and futureproofing questions that come up regularly for us.

Went down an enjoyable link trail over Zoom coffee with @cparreno14 last week.
Started with @tomgauld's "Two Rocks Converse" from 2010.

(providing the @longnow link because Mr Gauld's original tweet linked to a since-rotted Flickr address)

Great to see @StewartBrandDoc on the big screen last night. Thanks @MaximHarper for the invitation and to the team at @stripepress for hosting.
The excellent conversations afterwards made me think I might have another go at using Twitter more. Probably not though.

If you could ask the UK public 3 questions in a poll, what would they be? (I've bought these from the brilliant @JoeTwyman at the excellent @DeltapollUK ) - Erm, becuase twitter polls are not real polls, right...

With mention of @longnow, @longplayer, #solarpunk and some existential hope, this is essentially a continuation of conversations in our monthly meetups now returning to #TheSekforde in #Clerkenwell.
All are welcome.

I'm a big fan of the @2269oneday project. It was a real pleasure to go for a ride in Mike's time machine and imagine a party in #WestDorset in 247 years' time.
I brought fresh limes (for cocktails), hot chocolate, uncopyrighted seeds and Christmas songs.

The mention of mai tai cocktails and the fashion for hot chocolate in Georgian England makes us wonder... what might be the drinks, intoxicants or altered states of choice at a party in 2269?
