The FUEL Dialogues have been created to ask questions as much as give answers. These are discussions, not lectures, that bring together people from diverse sectors to draw conclusions about how societal shifts are affecting everyone. The Dialogues recognize that the future is impossible to predict but we can start to see patterns of change and hope to plot our own courses to take advantage of that change rather than fight against it.
