Futures Literacy Labs (FLLs)
Structured workshops where participants explore their assumptions about the future by doing.
Details
Our Take
The primary delivery format for futures literacy; hundreds run worldwide. The 'lab' framing signals experimentation, not lectures. The power is that they make participants' assumptions visible to themselves: you do not just learn about futures; you discover what you have been unconsciously assuming. A tested format for building futures literacy without requiring mastery of foresight theory first.
