Resilience Against Disinformation and Populism
How can we most effectively combat disinformation, populism, and hate? futur eins supports journalism, politics, business, and civil society by providing concepts and tools to help find effective responses to these challenges—building strong, resilient information societies, and thus, democracies. Two key approaches to countering disinformation are so vital to us, they have become distinct thematic areas: <a href="/@/page/SKcTQ37yOx5E6fvl">Constructive Journalism and <a href="/@/page/pwv7NM6Jbo8UDSE1">Digital Media and News Literacy. -
🗞️
Constructive Journalism
How should news be shaped to genuinely serve the needs of the people? At futur eins, we integrate all available insights into what 21st-century journalism should embody to meet the needs of individuals in the digital age: solution-oriented, rich in perspectives, sustainable, mindful, and thoughtfully crafted. These are the five pillars of Constructive Journalism, as we define it. -

Digital Media and News Literacy
Digitalization has radically transformed the way we communicate and has introduced new challenges—whether it be the flood of disinformation or the overwhelming flow of digital information. Media and news literacy, particularly in the digital realm, forms the foundation of a knowledge-based society. We assist stakeholders across politics, education, and civil society in navigating this uncharted territory. -

Growth
Societies are as happy, healthy, and peaceful as the people who live within them. Growth focuses on the mental resilience of society—beginning with the individual. Growth is an empathetic and holistic concept drawing from psychology, coaching, and systems theory, aimed at assessing one’s own life, overcoming stagnation, and fostering personal growth. -

Systems Theory & Gross National Happiness
Gross National Happiness poses the question: What is more important—endless growth or genuine well-being? While Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures only the financial success of a country, Gross National Happiness aims to prioritize the quality of life and satisfaction of its citizens. Originally stemming from Bhutan, countries like New Zealand have also recognized that true progress encompasses more than mere figures—it lies in the happiness of their citizens. -

UTØPIÅ: Democracy in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is currently transforming the way we coexist at a pace unprecedented in previous technological revolutions. Are we as a society adaptable enough to actively shape the impacts it has on our communities? We aim to outline a utopia where AI, human rights, economic prosperity, social equality, and environmental sustainability coexist harmoniously within stable democratic systems.
