Protopia – Grow Your Future with Evolutionary Impact
Protopia – Grow Your Future with Evolutionary Impact
“The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke
Protopia is a desirable and plausible stage of the future, which involves constant evolution as it approaches.
By practicing Protopia we learn to co-create the future we find worth living for, without trying to control its unfolding.

Is this Learning Journey for You?
In 2020, the whole world experienced a shift that was both shocking and enlightening. With the global lockdown, humanity was set to pause and reflect on the foundations of its collective being.
For those interested to explore our personal and collective evolution, that pause became a sign pointing towards the possibility for the transition of current civilization to a new stage – and the towering risks and problems ahead of us. This next stage invites us to connect and align our personal evolution, the evolution of our glocal communities, and the quest to address global challenges facing all of us.
This learning journey is for practitioners – entrepreneurs, educators, researchers, public administration workers, facilitators, change leaders, policy makers, and all those, who seek to unleash their full potential for contributing to the transition to a better world, with their life, career, and projects.
If you want to amplify your positive impact significantly, you’ve arrived at the right place. Here, you can up your change artistry and accelerate its development by participating in a global Protopia cohort of facilitated peer learning.
Throughout this learning expedition, its Faculty, cohort, and Community Host, will support you in many ways in re-discovering your evolutionary purpose, and reaching your full potential to manifest it.
Learning Journey Description
The learning journey is shaped as a co-creative learning journey to explore the world we want to live in, ways to bring it into being, and the possible contribution to them by each of us. This program will be much more than an ordinary learning journey! The journey’s facilitation will be inspired by the 5 principles of the Campus’ educational credo (Holistic, Experiential, Praxis-driven, Transformative and Co-creative) explained here.
Not only that, but upon graduation, the Protopia program will also give you an opportunity to participate in an ongoing Transformative Community of Practice to support your lifelong developmental journey.
The journey will consist of 5 modules, followed by a co-creation lab (face-to-face if travel restrictions permit) that will help you further develop your capacity to facilitate profound transformation at various scales, i.e. personal, interpersonal, organizational, societal, and planetary.
We will also have invited guest speakers that are world-class experts in domains relevant to our modules.
Those 5 modules will be built on top of each other: the competences developed in the subsequent ones will be supported by what you learned in the previous ones. However, to give you greater flexibility, they can also be taken separately or in your own combination of them. Convinced about the additional benefits of going on this learning journey all the way, we provide a deep discount to those who decide to apply for admission to the whole program, at the time of the registration.
The purpose of this Learning Expedition is two-fold:
- We want to amplify the transformative power of each member of the Expedition community, and the community as a whole, by mobilizing our collective intelligence in support of their real-world projects.
- We want to contribute to discovering and walking on the pathways to humanity’s Phase Shift, by increasing the collective consciousness and impact of the ecosystems of transformative initiatives
Background: A growing network with over 10 years of history
The Protopian approach has been the foundation of changemaker practices we have established in Russia and worldwide, including
- Rapid Foresight, the method of communal mapping of possible & achievable futures, used by tens of thousands of ‘future practitioners’ in Russia & globally, that has spurred many system change projects such as University 20.35 or Boiling Points network
- Skills Technology Foresight, Atlas of Emerging Jobs and Future Skills research alliance & competition by World Skills are some of the future oriented skills projects that have already catalyzed hundreds of innovative education projects and impacted millions of lives
- The work of Global Education Futures has instigated multiple projects of change in education in Russia and globally, most important ones is paradigm shift to learning ecosystems through communities of practice such as The Weaving Lab and Learning Planet
- Transformation of urban life and practices in Russia through change movements such as Living Cities and Hundred City Leaders
- Engagement of hundreds of young changemakers and social entrepreneurs in Russia through initiatives such as Voice of Youth and Teen Start educational programs
- and more..
