Workshop: Future Thinking
Stop. Reflect. Integrate and Act - From Dystopia to Utopia
Do you wonder what the world will look like in the future?
In this workshop we will reflect and analyze relevant future trends regarding Climate Change and the socio-techno-economic interplay.
Using the Future Thinking Method we will develop possible future scenarios that should motivate to act.
As this workshop is interactive and for maximum 30 participants, free registration is required. If you can not participate after registration, please cancel again as soon as possible, so we can give the space to someone else on the waiting list. Many thanks!
