WHAT IS FUTURE SEARCH?
We think of Future Search in three ways—
- A large group planning meeting used world-wide for 30 years;
- A theory and philosophy of facilitating that anyone can apply;
- A strategy for changing the world one meeting at a time.

I Dream of Peace – A Future Search for the Children of Southern Sudan.
A UNICEF-sponsored effort called Operation Lifeline Sudan invited children and adults to take part in a Future Search to address the crisis of losing a generation of children to the turmoil of a brutal civil war. To allow the children’s voices to be heard, the adult Future Search was preceded by a Future Search for children only. About 40 children, ages 13 – 17, (accompanied by their teachers) participated. Most of these children had suffered displacement and separation from their families as a result of the war, and some even fought in the war.
