From the Rockies to the World: How Boulder‑Based Dream Tank is Co‑Hosting a Global Broadcast on Youth, Indigenous Wisdom, and Planetary Regeneration

Boulder has long been a pioneer in environmental innovation, youth leadership and global collaboration. So when your local youth‑design hub co‑hosts a global streaming event with voices from over 50 countries—it’s both a homecoming and a launch-pad.

On November 22, 2025 at 11:11 a.m. PST, the Origin Broadcast will go live, streaming from the heart of climate action at COP30 and reaching into living rooms, community spaces and youth hubs around the world: www.ourorigin.earth

At its core, the Origin Broadcast, co-produced and directed by Hubcast International, isn’t just another media event—it’s a planetary convergence of Indigenous wisdom‑keepers, youth visionaries, scientists, artists and systems‑change stewards who share a singular purpose: to activate hope, coherence and regenerative action at scale. Dr. Zach Bush’s organization Project Biome

And Boulder’s role? Bold, grounded, youth‑driven.

Dream Tank—established in Boulder ten years ago—is proud to be a core co‑host of this vision. What began as a youth innovation lab in the foothills has evolved into a global youth‑systems ecosystem, incubating design sprints, fellowships, and planetary parties in cities from Nairobi to Boulder.

Why Boulder still matters:

  • The Rocky Mountain base gave Dream Tank its experimental “sandbox” for youth‑led systems design.

  • The local culture of civic innovation, campus activism and environmental leadership has enabled the passage from local lab to global signal.

  • Now Dream Tank’s Boulder community can serve as a living node in the global movement initiated by Origin.

What to expect in the broadcast
During the livestream, expect to see stories from Amazon forest stewards, Sahel food‑sovereignty campaigns, Indigenous artists, and youth‑led prototypes tuned to the Sustainable Development Goals, all aligned behind one signal of renewal and connection.

Most importantly, our Dream Tank Fellows – Adrienne Markey and Jack Stecchi – 2025 graduates from University of Colorado Boulder – mobilized to create a beautiful segment for the broadcast, showing the world the genius of youth. 

In addition to streaming, Dream Tank’s Boulder network is mobilizing:

  • Hosting local watch‑points for young changemakers and educators

  • Amplifying youth segments that emerged from our Boulder‑based fellowships

  • Seeding the follow‑on work that builds out the next stage—the Systems Change Lab, launching January 2026 in partnership with Brown University and city networks.

    Global Launch - November 22 @ 11:11am PST

How you can get involved
You don’t need to be in Brazil to participate. Here in Boulder:

We’re standing at a moment when local meets global—when the youth‑designed ideas born in Boulder can ripple across continents. The Origin Broadcast marks the invitation. The year ahead marks the activation.

Join us on November 22—and then stay with us on the journey ahead.

With much love, and BIG DREAMS,

Heidi Cuppari

Heidi Cuppari, a graduate of Brown University, is a pioneering figure in the fields of sustainable financing, impact investing, youth entrepreneurship, and women's leadership. Having moved to Boulder in 2006, she has spent nearly two decades contributing to the growth and development of the impact investing and social entrepreneurship community in the city.

With a personal life as vibrant as her professional one, Heidi is a devoted mother and an integral part of a close-knit family. She started a family legacy art gallery and celebration space called Cuppari Mondo Bello, in collaboration with her children and her father, the acclaimed Italian artist Pasquale Cuppari. This venture was initiated to uplift her father during the challenging times of COVID-19, and it has since morphed into an avenue for social impact through the amplification of consciousness-evoking art.

In her career and volunteer activities, Heidi strives to align global social impact with collective action. As the founder of Island17 and Dream Tank, and as a council member of The Digital Economist, she continually advances her mission of fostering a healed planet and peaceful world. She recently co-created the Playa Puertecito Collaborative, an initiative aimed at building a sustainable community on the Sea of Cortez. Her work emphasizes the power of collective impact and highlights the importance of giving a voice to the younger generation in shaping our shared future.

Heidi's Empowerment Coaching and Mentoring sessions demonstrate her ability to blend traditional life coaching support with loving, innovative, and relationship-based models.
