Lively Future Guide

Partnerships

Lively Future Guide considers collaborations that fit its interest in futures literacy and respect readers' ability to make up their own minds.

Relevant collaborations

We consider clearly scoped collaborations such as commissioned explainers, conversations, learning resources and editorially separate partner features. A proposal should explain its subject, intended audience, proposed format and how the work would serve readers interested in change and possible futures.

Partner placements

Relevant partner links or placements may appear across the site when they fit the publication's subject and presentation. Placement does not imply endorsement of a partner's wider claims or offerings. Partners cannot buy a favourable editorial conclusion.

Clear labels

Sponsored work and partner placements are labelled clearly. Editorial coverage remains distinct from commercial material, and we may decline proposals that are misleading, unrelated to the publication or incompatible with reader trust.

Our point of view

One future is never the only one worth seeing.

We treat forecasts as prompts for thought, not promises. Looking across possibilities can make present-day choices easier to examine.
