Living Futures

Living Futures is a long-term initiative to build awareness of the most important challenges affecting humanity, and our personal roles in shaping the societies of the future.

We see human activity, especially within the areas of business and finance, design, media, art and computing, as being interconnected and not separate from each other or the natural world. It is our responsibility as a university to examine our own activities and inspire action that supports future generations to build a society that is socially just, ecologically sustainable and culturally rich.

The activities and initiatives carried out by Living Futures draw inspiration from the university’s core values, and find ways to make them a living presence in the lives of our staff and students. 

The Annual Theme

Annual themes allow us to focus on particular aspects, and think about how to overcome some of the world’s critical challenges together. The PCU community engages with the annual theme through projects, events, conferences and more, in order to illustrate, change current practice and inspire future action.

Students are encouraged to be creative, and come up with innovative ideas, to connect with those from other fields of study, local community and external experts. The annual theme culminates in a presentation at the end of the year with awards given for the best work in engaging with the theme.

The annual theme selected for this academic year is Media, post-truth and reality, you can read more about it here.
