Our history

The Almanac of the Future as a communication platform was born out of deep reflection on the climate crisis and its roots in the current development model. As we educated ourselves and delved deeper into the UN climate negotiations, we realized that the real transformation of our society requires a rethinking of the approach to living for well-being and the common good.

We believe that paradigm shifts begin at the grassroots of society. This motivated us to seek out and document real and inspiring stories from the local level that show transformations and changes in current development paradigms that prioritize care for life and the common good.

Through the Almanac of the Future, we make these “motivating experiences” visible, convinced that community action that promotes local transformations is the key to building a future with a future.

We document real-life stories that inspire and demonstrate how a better future is possible. Through these “motivational experiences,” we highlight tangible examples of transformation in the present.
We currently work in the Andean region, which includes Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, and are expanding into Mesoamerica and Mexico. We also selectively cover south-north interdependencies.
Our documentaries are x-rays of the bets made by people, communities and local collectives, demonstrating possible transformations and challenging conventional schemes. Through these experiences, we demonstrate that another world is possible.

Through our content, we provide tools for those who visit our website and participate in our conversations to express their opinions and make informed decisions about their own transitions to a better future, contributing to the common good.
We offer inspiring stories, published as journalistic articles called “Motivating Experiences,” which always conclude with calls to action and positive messages that motivate a paradigm shift in development. We also promote debate and analysis on key issues for a better future through multimedia: podcasts, conversations, and other events.
