The Future Innovators Summit (FIS) is a hands-on discussion program, which was originally developed by Ars Electronica (AT) and Hakuhodo (JP). FIS is a ‘Collaborative Do Tank’ with the purpose of finding ‘Creative Questions’ about the future, shaped by innovators from all over the world. For Newcastle, it took a new spin focusing on young people aged 4 to 19: The Experts of the Future.

FIS Newcastle was an invitation to:

• Learn from the imagination and voices of our youth

• Activate a generation of changemakers

• Share, exchange and be inspired to move forward together

• Experiment and try new things

24 hunter based changemakers gathered in Newcastle over 3 days to invent questions about: Future City, Future Education and Future Work.
