What will happen in your session?

Tired of apocalyptic scenarios and Black Mirror episodes? Then join us to work backwards from imagining better futures. Let’s kick things off with stating the futures we want. We’ll then work back through time to unravel how your future would be made possible.

In order to have time for in-depth discussions we will brainstorm, speculate and sketch ideas in small groups. There will be several opportunities to share back and discuss with the larger group.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The outcome is a set of new narratives - developed by a diverse group of participants. Participants will get the chance to contribute their story to our fellowship projects.

The goal: The groups will learn about speculative processes for actioning more preferable futures. We want to introduce them to the method of backcasting and discuss how this can be applied to their work.

Cultural narratives are dominated by dystopian scenarios. Especially in the field of technology. We think it’s time for new utopias. We want to encourage people to develop bold and positive visions about the future. We believe that imagining a better world and being able to talk about it is the first step towards a positive future.

Hey @juliakloiber - do you think you need 90 minutes for this, or could you squeeze it into 60?

Hi Jon!

Thanks for reaching out! We are happy to squeeze it into 60 mins. We’ve done that before :)

Cheers, Julia
