Garimpo de Soluções faced the challenge of designing and curating the two projects that opened the Arena of Farol Santander. In total, we hosted 22 meetings, with 63 speakers and mediators, from all continents, 13 countries and nine Brazilian cities.
“Meu Futuro é agora” (“My Future is now”) builds on the Arena’s positioning of being a place of inspiration, reflection and provocation, inside the important center of entrepreneurship, culture and leisure that Farol Santander became. The project’s leitmotiv is global changes, having the future of work as a train of thought.
Many of the most striking studies around the future of (your, my, our) work converge upon a conclusion: in the coming two to three decades, half of the activities involved in the jobs we do today will no longer exist – and half of what will then be performed is currently not on our radar. For us to be better prepared for such an uncertain, challenging but potentially rewarding future, we designed a lineup of great experts and provocative debates. The first two meetings outlined trends and discussed what “future” actually means. The following three depicted cities in transition to become a nurturing environment for their talents. We then engaged key experts in their specific fields, whose history has the mark of specific skills of the future. Finally, we had a debate showing the most recent studies on the future of work and, to close, a taylor-made debate focusing on São Paulo.
