    Ministry of the Future

    A bottom-up movement of citizens promoting long-term perspectives and intergenerational justice.

    Because every single one of us should take responsibility for the future of their own LOCAL environment, everyone participating in the Ministry of the Future is a Minister, pushing action in their own sphere of influence. Following rapid growth of the movement in the past 1.5 years, it now unites hundreds of Ministers (artists, citizens, scientists, policymakers etc) throughout The Netherlands, from Leeuwarden to Limburg. Because of the rapid growth of the movement, we are now also drawing attention from abroad (Belgium, Poland, UK, ao). Therefore, the Ministry of the Future is a networked movement, uniting both local, national and international citizens., Netherlands
