During this three-hour community workshop, we’ll identify, share and discuss signals and trends shaping the future of how and where we work.

This is an open workshop for anyone interested and invested in how our work places and neighborhoods can enable a regenerative, resilient and thriving future for our planet, humans and other species.

We seek to bring together a range of professional, educational and lived experiences from students and researchers to office managers, city planners, architects, developers, designers, sustainability experts, community facilitators and others. We invite business actors, public sector, civic society groups and other actors both shaping and being impacted by how our work places and neighborhoods develop in the future.

In this workshop, you’ll learn about and practice using core tenets of strategic foresight: signals of change, trends and drivers. You will also work side-by-side with folks from other fields and backgrounds and learn about the future of the topic at focus.

This workshop is part of The Future is Here – A fast track from imagining to implementing regenerative futures. The shifts and conversations in this workshop will inform the creation of a future vision and a futures prototype within The Future is Here.

Participation is free of charge but seats are limited, so sign up in advance! The workshop will be held in English.
