“What keeps us trapped by the mistakes of the past? Often it is the inability to imagine the world being truly different, a lack of example or inspiration to follow, or simply not believing that we can make a difference. The Future Is Beautiful from Think Act Vote has a cure for each of these ills.” Andrew Simms, New Economics Foundation
“An idea that will send a transforming fire to the future.” Ben Okri, author & poet
“Knowing what is possible inspires change, and we are capable of so much more than most of us dare to even dream…” Bruce Parry, film-maker

“Martin Luther King did not stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and say “I have a plan”.

“Drawing on a cleverly conceived, beautifully executed project, The Future Is Beautiful offers a critical challenge on the current state of the world.” Tessy Britton, Social Spaces
