a #FEMS2025 highlight for me has definitely been creating a time capsule holding our hopes for the future of our universities

we share the conviction that our institutions can change over the next 20 years and turn to embody a vision of radical love, care, compassion and community... 1/2
our time capsule with human paper chain on the front and handicraft butterfly on the inner lid. a paper chain with interlinked words including care and justice hangs out one side. in the centre, different actors including senior management and the student body made of pipe cleaners are alongside messages we are sending to them, all within a "donut" representing sustainable planetary boundaries. also in the capsule is a caterpillar of modelling clay representing potential that must be nurtured a closeup view of time capsule interior
