Do you want to develop your own futures thinking? Do you feel like futures seem gloomy or hard to grasp and the pace of change is a bit too much? Would you be interested in trying something a bit different?

Come to this foresight training, where we explore futures through movement.

In this training the focus is on the participants' own approach to futures. How can we approach the future more openly, more courageously? What role do our emotions play in our own futures thinking, and how can we learn to live with them and listen to them? How can we embody knowledge about futures and find agency amidst surprises?

The training uses functional and movement-based methods and is based on anticipation studies and systems intelligence. The training does not require any prior knowledge of futures thinking.

Trainer

The trainer is Mikko Dufva, a docent of futures studies and Foresight Team Lead at The Finnish Innovation Fund, who has learned that it is worth dancing with futures.
