Our Mission
 

GLOBAL RE:THINK DIALOGUE 2045 is a private, long-horizon intellectual initiative that brings together independent thinkers, scholars, cultural strategists, and practitioners from different regions and disciplines.

 

Its mission is to create a shared intellectual infrastructure for cooperation in a world where traditional frameworks of globalization, ideology, and governance are increasingly fragmented. Rather than reacting to short-term crises, RE:THINK 2045 focuses on future-oriented thinking: imagining the year 2045 and working backward to identify the cultural, institutional, and philosophical foundations required to reach it.

 

The initiative uses reverse horizon thinking as its core method — starting from a desired future condition and tracing the pathways, assumptions, and structures needed in the present. RE:THINK 2045 is not a political platform and does not promote predefined solutions. It functions as a space for reflection, dialogue, and intellectual experimentation before ideas are translated into policy or projects.

 

 

What We Explore

 

RE:THINK 2045 addresses questions that cannot be resolved within a single discipline or ideology, including:

 

Planetarity beyond classical globalization

 

Human agency and responsibility in the age of artificial intelligence

 

Ethics and governance in a plural, non-universal world

 

Culture as a source of social and political renewal

 

Climate, memory, and long-term continuity

 

New forms of participation and collective decision-making

 

Rethinking knowledge, institutions, and solidarity for the 21st century

 

 

These themes are explored not as abstract debates, but as interconnected layers shaping future societies.

How Participation Works

Participation in GLOBAL RE:THINK DIALOGUE 2045 takes place through the interactive platform rethink2045.id.page

This is not project enrollment and not institutional mem . It is a gradual process of intellectual participation, where ideas evolve into dialogue and, in some cases, into structured initiatives.

The platform is designed to support different levels of engagement bership, without obligations or formal commitments.

 

Step 1: Join the Platform (USER)

 

Create a personal profile on rethink2045.id.page and enter the shared intellectual space.

 

As a USER, you can:

 

• publish essays, articles, manifestos, videos, and analytical notes;

• comment on and discuss contributions by others;

• participate in open thematic discussions;

• build an intellectual presence within the RE:THINK 2045 environment.

 

This level is open and exploratory. No prior approval is required.

 

Step 2: Contribute to Ongoing Work (PROJECT PARTICIPANT)

 

Users whose work aligns with the themes and methodological standards of RE:THINK 2045 may apply to become PROJECT PARTICIPANTS.

 

At this level:

 

• contributions are reviewed by moderators and peers;

• selected materials receive enhanced visibility;

• participants may contribute to curated topics, dossiers, or working streams;

• dialogue becomes more structured and collaborative.

 

This stage is focused on quality, coherence, and continuity of thought, not hierarchy or status.

 

Step 3: Develop a Structured Initiative (PROJECT SPACE)

 

In some cases, sustained contributions may evolve into a PROJECT SPACE within the platform.

 

This allows contributors to:

 

• create or manage a dedicated wiki page for an idea, initiative, or institution;

• organize materials, invite collaborators, and curate content;

• develop a concept over time in a transparent, open format;

• connect intellectual work with potential practical applications.

 

A PROJECT SPACE is not a formal organization or political initiative. It is a living knowledge environment that may later inform research programs, dialogues, or applied projects outside the platform.

 

Important Note

 

Participation on rethink2045.id.page does not imply political alignment, institutional representation, or endorsement of specific outcomes.

The platform exists to support thinking before positioning, dialogue before action, and collaboration before formalization.

 

 

Why It Matters

In a time of crisis fatigue, institutional breakdowns, and identity fragmentation, RE:THINK 2045 offers a space for slow, deep, and responsible thinking across borders and disciplines.

 

It does not promise solutions or quick consensus.

 

It creates conditions in which new ways of thinking, cooperating, and imagining the future can emerge organically.

 

 

RE:THINK 2045 is for those who seek to move beyond zero-sum logic and short-term reactions — and to contribute to a plural, ethical, and resilient planetary future, step by step, toward 2045.
