"It’s been 15 years since I entered my first FPS classroom with intrigue, followed immediately by awe and intractable attraction. Why do I still take my daily dose of FPS? I think it’s because the program is more than just a transient test of knowledge and skill. It develops a lifelong mindset and entirely new outlook through which we can see the world. No longer do problems envelop the globe, rather opportunities do: moments that are ready for positive, sustainable change."

Dylan Sherman, FPS Australia Alumni, now Coach, Evaluator, Future Scene Writer, Committee Member, Lecturer and PhD Candidate at University of Oxford

Hear about the program

“20 years ago, I had no idea that one day I would find myself spending a year working in Antarctica … let alone that I would go back again only one year later. But I already knew that I wanted to do something big, exciting, and unique. Without knowing exactly where I wanted to end up, I studied languages because I wanted to explore the world, science because I cared deeply for the environment, and many activities ranging from music and martial arts to Future Problem Solving because I enjoyed them and I knew that they would provide me with skills and confidence that I could carry with me forever. FPS taught me that we can come up with creative ways to solve the problems that humans have created.”
