U++: Let’s Build the Future of U+ Together!

Six years after the collective imagining and building of U+, it’s time to do it again! The community is larger; We, and you, have had time to try and learn a lot; And the world has changed. How should we change in order to become more relevant?

We have imagined a collective journey in three stages:

  • Memory and learning [NOW!] : we want to invite you to share what you and we have learned over these six years: about what it means to work on futures, imaginations, stories; on the links between creation and ecological-social transformations; on what plurality means… Let us build together a memory resulting from our practices, experiences and research!
  • Links [Fall 2025] : on this basis, we want to renew the conversation around the questions and projects that motivate you today. What do you do, how, with whom, and why? What would you like to share beyond your natural networks? What subjects, what points of attention, seem more important to you today than yesterday?
  • Our Futures [2026]: finally, with a view to an in-person meeting and the end of 2026, we invite you to talk about our futures - those of U+, yours and what connects them: what would/should we do? What shouldn’t we do anymore? Where do we need each other? If we meet physically, what do we expect? (and how to include those who can not participate?)…

This is just the outline of a plan.
It will only make sense if you want to participate in it.
And then you will change it.
