More Information

In the year 3000, the Earth is running out of fertile soil. Land once taken for granted has become barren. Using time travel, scientists launch a plan to save humanity: they give passports to people with potential and send them back to 2026 to learn about soil. In 2026, decisions about land and food can still shape the future.

You are one of those selected. With your passport, you will travel back to 2026 and visit critical training stations. At each one, you may notice something, encounter a different perspective, or imagine a possibility you had not considered. The stations may draw on the senses, emotion, imagination, play, logic, and compassion. There is no single answer to bring back. Your task is to pay attention to what matters, and to whom.

Grab your passport and start the adventure! https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1x-RTIUzN1Am62TlbJ_THXl3_uCUGDKc&usp=sharing
