Department of Stories

Stories are everywhere, they shape our worldview and nourish our imagination.

The department of stories encourages us to paint a picture of the society we would like to live in: our view of the ideal society of the future. It could be imaginary and futuristic, but when told in a compelling manner, it is one step closer to becoming a reality.
