What does the future hold? Can we really make a difference in what happens?
Liz Cahill and Nerida Lennon of Global Youth Futures will be running Speed Scenarios of the future, at the Live Futures 2020 Festival.
Using the techniques of a Future Dreaming weekend, which allows young people to explore climate and sustainability issues, new technologies, cultural, health and population shifts, global and local political trends, the Speed Scenarios at Live Futures 2020 will be short scenarios in one-hour blocks of time, where participants can explore issues and think what our impact, their impact and the future ramifications for us as humans and for our communities.
Using futurist methods and processes, the Speed Scenarios we enable participants in the workshops to understand what is coming in the future, what is possible and how to influence it. What will 2020 be like? 2030? 2050?
In the Speed Scenarios, participants will be looking at future trends. Scenarios run in the past include looking at the structure of Global Governance – how we incorporate global governance, local governance, with slow-tech, low-tech and high-technologies, particularly balancing the demands of developed and developing areas.
Speed Scenarios will be workshops held in one hour blocks.
Liz Cahill and Nerida Lennon will be running workshops will be held throughout the day from:
11.30 -12.30.
2pm – 3.30pm.
Get a small taste of foresight.
Scenario planning processes used by government and corporations around the world take from days to weeks to months to years. And we have squashed it into an hour for you!!!
This really is just a taste and we hope in the future you will have the opportunity to spend a good amount of time co-creating the future with others. I assure you its worth it.
