The futures transformation action tank
Hosting Futuresful Explorations
the initiative is a think and action tank that hosts “futuresful” explorations. Our work builds on UNESCO’s Futures Literacy as an open living framework. We create and design transformative learning experiences to invite novelty while overcoming the illusion of control and the related poverty of imagination. We strive to realize the potential of futures thinking and acting.
the initiative understands itself as host of Futures Literacy in Switzerland while being connected to the global UNESCO Futures Literacy research and practice community. We research, explore, understand, and apply Futures Literacy as a capability and capacity for societal transformation.
Our Futures Invitation
We invite individuals, organizations, and institutions to experience, practice, and experiment with a more reflexive use of the future through Futures Literacy.
We create experiential learning journeys by offering introductions on futures thinking and acting with participatory action research, transformative process- and workshop designs, real-world experiments, and interventions.
We co-initiate, co-host, and collaborate. Are you interested in inviting futuresful explorations as part of the reflections and actions in your context or community? We’d love to know how we can support your endeavors!
Why Futures Literacy
We practice Futures Literacy as a globally researched and field-tested capability approach, which builds on the innate human capacity to anticipate.
We apply Futures Literacy as an open living framework for enhancing futures capabilities. In and with our work, we actively question, undefine, imagine and create futures.
We encourage individuals, organizations, and institutions to discover Futures Literacy as a capacity. Our work allows for inviting novelty by experimenting with complexity and uncertainty.
We understand Futures Literacy as a profound lever for societal transformations by enabling “changes in the conditions of change” through us as humans.
We aim to make the empowering benefits of Futures Literacy accessible for everyone by inviting you to participate instead of consume futures.
We hope to contribute with our work to a more futures literate and then fluent Switzerland by offering and co-creating futuresful explorations.
