Garimpo de Soluções undertook the challenge of designing and curating the inaugural projects for the Arena at Farol Santander. Throughout 2018, we successfully hosted 22 sessions, featuring 63 speakers and moderators from across the globe, representing 13 countries and nine Brazilian cities.
“Meu Futuro é agora” (“My Future is Now”) builds upon the Arena’s established role as a hub for inspiration, reflection, and thought-provoking discussions within Farol Santander’s prominent center for entrepreneurship, culture, and leisure. The project’s central theme revolves around global shifts, with the future of work serving as a guiding thread.
Many compelling studies on the future of work converge on a pivotal conclusion: within the next two to three decades, half of the activities currently performed in existing jobs will become obsolete, while the other half will involve tasks that are currently beyond our imagination. To equip ourselves for this uncertain, challenging, yet potentially rewarding future, we assembled a lineup of leading experts and facilitated stimulating debates. The initial two sessions explored emerging trends and delved into the very definition of “future.” The subsequent three sessions showcased cities undergoing transformations to cultivate environments conducive to talent development. We then engaged key experts in specific fields, each possessing a history marked by the essential skills of the future. Finally, we hosted a debate presenting the latest research on the future of work, culminating in a tailor-made discussion focused on São Paulo.
