Our future.
Our move.
By midnight, 31 December 2050, Bermuda is the best place on Earth to live.
A child born in Bermuda this week turns twenty-four in 2050. The Bermuda they inherit starts with us. Not with a plan. With a move.
What's your move?
Two sentences. That's the whole thing. Some moves are an introduction. Some are an hour a month. Some are a skill you can pass on, a place you can open up, a thing you'll fix on your street.
Post it, send it to one person, and ask them theirs.
Saved moves appear on the wall below, newest first, with the first name and parish you give. Say as little or as much as you like.
The first ten moves.
The last ten moves, as they come in, and what came of them. It starts empty on purpose.
The counter ticks. One move gets shown: who made it, and what happened. That's the whole rhythm, every week, for twenty-four years.
Three things are being built underneath, so the ambition becomes real: Bermuda 10 (the goals and the scoreboard), the Bermuda Youth Trust (a stake for every child born 2020 to 2050) and Bermuda Venture Studio (the companies that close the gaps). They will change as we learn. The movement won't. If you're one of the first hundred, start here.
A movement of sixty thousand starts with a hundred who could stop it.
You were sent this because you can help something happen: ministers and the people who will replace them, regulators, the executives who carry the island's balance sheet, bankers, teachers, pastors, union leaders, athletes, editors, scientists. Nobody is being asked for money. Two things are being asked, in this order.
1. Make your move, publicly, and hand out ten cards.
Your move on the wall is what gives a nineteen-year-old permission to make one. Then give ten cards to ten people who are not like you. The movement spreads by hand.
2. Then argue with the ten.
Below is the draft definition of success. Tell us what's wrong, missing or unmeasurable. Name the one goal you'd put your name to. Version 1.0 is published at midnight on 31 December 2026, at the onion drop in St George's.
Bermuda 10
An independent not-for-profit that owns the ten goals, the evidence and the public scoreboard. Anyone can propose a version; residents and the diaspora sign the one they stand behind. Holds no money, no equity. Whoever builds never keeps the score.
Bermuda Youth Trust
A wallet in the name of every Bermudian child born 2020 to 2050. Same gift at birth, same eighteen years to hold it, yours at eighteen. Assets: a stake in what's built, cash from sponsors and family, a slice of housing. First unlock 1 January 2038. In design; joining the movement makes nobody a beneficiary.
Bermuda Venture Studio
The infrastructure to build against the gaps on the scoreboard: companies each pledged to one goal, each giving a stake to the trust, each measured in public. A private company with a commercial interest, disclosed. How the trust and the studio relate to each other is still being decided.
