Futuring is not prediction. It is a way of seeing possibilities, understanding risks, and choosing paths that feel meaningful. It is learning to navigate the “forest” of tomorrow — not by knowing every obstacle, but by being more attentive, deliberate, and open to potential futures so that we are better prepared for it.
On this site you’ll resources to help you begin thinking with us, but don’t worry we go through the same sort of material on the day of the workshop.
Backcasting - working backwards from the future to the present.
Describing our Future as a Landscape metaphor.
Flight metaphor to orient ourselves to the futuring task - big dreams vs. nuts & blots details.
Horizon Futures - at the future as a horizon in front of us that we aim for, or we steer away from.
