The stories we tell ourselves about the future shape just about everything we do in the present.

In this session we will stretch our own thinking by using LEGO to build new and wonderful stories about different potential futures.

The session will include a short introduction to a key theory of Futures Studies, before using a set of prompts to build LEGO models of different future scenarios.

What will we cover?

Together, we will:

learn about four different future archetypes: growth, collapse, discipline, and transformation
build a variety of potential futures, ranging from the ‘official’ future through to the preposterous
discuss how considering a range of future scenarios might be useful in our lives.
