Methods mosaic

For futures literacy pedagogy: Which methods enable learning about the future and teaching about futures? Which methods support future thinking? Which methods promote imagination? Which methods help us develop future visions to anticipate possible and desirable futures? How can we utilize creative, cultural, artistic, and media practices for this purpose? How do we connect future thinking with ecological thinking? How do we create transformative learning experiences?

Just in time for the pre-Christmas season, everyone is invited to open the Methods mosaic Advent Calendar


From December 1st to 24th, a new door can be opened each day. Behind every door is a method ready to inspire and be applied.
In this way, the Advent season can be enriched day by day with fresh impulses.
