A global live gathering on January 17 emerging from the Systems Change Lab at Brown University and the Dream Tank ecosystem.

DREAMCAST is almost here.

On January 17, we’ll gather for a global live broadcast emerging from the work of the Systems Change Lab with Brown University cohorts and the broader Dream Tank ecosystem. It’s a rare kind of convergence—one that holds both tenderness and traction: intergenerational wisdom, real healing, and regenerative futures coming into form.

This isn’t a polished “final reveal.” It’s a live moment of becoming.

A place where young visionaries and trusted leaders come together to listen, witness, and engage with new ideas, early prototypes, and practical pathways for real-world, transformational systems change. A place where we don’t just talk about the future—we practice designing it differently.

Why this moment matters

In times like these, it’s easy for communities to rush to “business as usual.” DREAMCAST is the opposite of that impulse.

It’s a shared pause—an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and ask better questions:

  • What does safety actually require—not just in policy, but in lived experience?

  • How do we rebuild trust when systems fail?

  • What becomes possible when youth voice is treated not as a gesture, but as leadership?

  • What if the most powerful innovations are the ones that restore relationship—between people, institutions, and the places we call home?

DREAMCAST is a space to hold those questions together—and to see what young people are building in response.

What you’ll experience on January 17

DREAMCAST brings together:

  • Youth-led storytelling and lived experience

  • Early prototypes and tools shaped inside the Lab

  • Systems change frameworks designed to be adapted beyond a single campus or city

  • A field of intergenerational mentorship where students are not performing for adults—but co-creating with them

This is the beginning of a larger unfolding whose resonance we anticipate will travel far and wide. The conversations forming now hold the potential to ripple outward—planting seeds whose influence may be felt across communities, nations, and generations to come.

If you’ve been longing for evidence that something can change—this is a good place to show up.

More about DREAMCAST

DREAMCAST is an evolving media and convening platform within the Dream Tank ecosystem, designed to illuminate, connect, and nurture youth-led ideas across sectors, cultures, and geographies.

What begins as a global broadcast will grow into:

  • an ongoing youth-led video podcast series

  • a constellation of developing programs, conversations, and collaborative pathways

  • a place where young innovators, intergenerational mentors, and transformational systems change leaders can share emerging work, explore solutions, and build relationships that extend beyond any single event or theme

DREAMCAST functions as a living channel through which storytelling, prototyping, and future-shaping approaches can be witnessed, cultivated, and carried forward over time.

As new initiatives and priorities come into focus around the world, the DREAMCAST platform will continue to expand in alignment with:

  • the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and

  • the Inner Development Goals (IDGs)—a framework of inner capacities and skills needed to bring the 17 SDGs into lived reality.

Through media, technology, and culture, DREAMCAST weaves together narratives of ecological, social, and economic renewal and justice—while staying grounded in its core purpose:

amplifying youth voices, supporting entrepreneurial innovation, aligning with regenerative ways of living, and translating vision into meaningful, real-world impact.
