About Stories for the future

This is a space for people who care about the future, and don’t want to harden while facing it. I explore Future Fluency through health, meaningful work, and the energy transition, not as separate topics, but as parts of the same navigation system. vklavenes.substack.com (https://vklavenes.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast)

   When the Plan Changes Shape

   🎙️ Episode Summary A short update on how a project changed shape after taking part in the Energiomstillerne program by cCHANGE. I went in with a plan to build a coalition connected to this podcast. I came out with a different approach. Not a new intention, but a shift in how to move forward. This episode is about: Letting go of the idea of building something from scratch Paying attention to where energy and momentum already exist Returning to a book project I had put aside Exploring the human side of the energy transition I also share reflections on Life After Oil, a UK-based initiative creating space for people transitioning out of oil and gas. 🔗 Links Energiomstillerne (cCHANGE):https://www.cchange.no/pages/energiomstillerne (https://www.cchange.no/pages/energiomstillerne) Earlier episode with Dina Hestad from cCHANGE: https://vklavenes.substack.com/p/what-norways-energy-transition-needs-537 (https://vklavenes.substack.com/p/what-norways-energy-transition-needs-537) Life After Oil:https://lifeafteroil.net/ (https://lifeafteroil.net/) Website:https://storiesforthefuture.com (https://storiesforthefuture.com) Substack:https://vklavenes.substack.com (https://vklavenes.substack.com) 💬 If this resonates, I’d really like to hear from you.
