Follow up exercise - Optional

Time: 30 minutes

Once you have done this visioning piece, you can do this additional exercise to go deeper into the visioning process. If you don’t have time on the day, keep these questions to return to later. 

Facilitation guide:

Explain that they are now going to explore this future vision in more detail by focusing on specific questions in small groups:

Put into small groups of 3-5 people for 15 minutes. Ask the groups to focus on one of the following statements and discuss it and capture the main points that come up. Then bring groups back and get them to report back, taking no more than a minute or two to share what they came up with. 

Select a few of these questions and ask different small groups to consider one each: 

• Which policies were introduced today that accelerated our journey to this future?

• What are the values that underpin the world we imagined in 10 years time?

• What jobs are you doing in this world? What does the economy around it look like? 

• What were the projects and the movements today that inspired and informed this shift? What were the key sources of inspiration? 

• What changes were made to the education system that enabled this shift? 

• What supported people to come together to make these changes happen?

• Are there any devices or objects or tools that didn’t exist today but which are now  essential parts of life? 

• Invent some newspaper headlines from the future, what positive stories would they be telling?
