Future workshop

Future workshop

The future workshop is a futures technique developed by
Robert Jungk, Ruediger Lutz and Norbert R. Muellert in the 1970s. It enables a group of people to develop new ideas or solutions of social problems. A future workshop is particularly suitable for participants who have little experience with processes of creative decision making, for example Children or Youth. However it requires an intensive preparation and support by trained moderators.It is used in Spatial planning to involve citizens in the planningprocess.

The method is similar to Open Space Technology, BarCamp or Unconferences.

Phases

# Preparation Phase: the method, its rules and the scheduled course of the workshop (in accordance with the participants) is introduced.
# Critique phase: The problem is investigated critically and thoroughly. First of all, a visualised brainstorming is performed and a general and critical question concerning the problem is framed.
# Fantasy Phase: All participants try to work out an utopia, to draw an exaggerated picture of future possibilities.
# Implementation phase the ideas found are checked and evaluated in regard to their practicability.
