Humans have a habit of wanting to go back to the familiar in times of crisis and resist radical change. But while resistance to change may be a natural response through the function of our limbic system, the current crisis is a wake-up call for society to reconsider existing norms, societal systems,...

What would the future of childhood look like?
Head to this podcast, where the futurists Alexandra Whittington and Joana Lenkova, co-authors of the Forbes article alongside Cathy Hackl "5 Kids from the Future", discuss the topic.

It can be very easy to focus on the future of business, enterprise, and work. Or on the future of adult society, but other than considering how education may development in the context of our every more digital world, it is much more unusual to consider the future of childhood. It is perhaps a somew...

Ако не сте ме чували отдавна, имате възможност да направите това в интервюто, в което Анета зададе най-страхотните въпроси. Не бих могла да представя нашата среща по по-добър начин, отколкото тя го прави тук:

"Днешната среща в подкаста е нещо като когато ТЯ, която обожава историята, срещна НЕЯ, която анализира бъдещето.

Как мислите, ще намерим ли пресечна точка?

Ето какво казва ТЯ, която анализира бъдещето:

1. Всеки бизнес, без значение колко голям е, трябва да си осигури уменията, хората, организацията и културата, за да посрещне предизвикателствата и да намери възможностите в този забързан и драстично променящ се свят днес.

2. Бъдещето е нещо, което трябва активно да създаваме, а не да чакаме да дойде.

3. Бъдещето на професиите и работата е колаборация, а не задушаваща конкуренция.

Настанете се удобно и се пригответе за среща с Joana Lenkova - футурист, стратег, консултант и към момента Директор стратегически foresight в Creative Play Lab, the LEGO Group.

Futures Forward

Hot off the press - this month's edition of Ludogogy by Sarah Le-Fevre, dedicated to Futurism!
Playfulness is a trait I treasure! How can we possibly imagine new and better worlds if we don't hope and dream, and experiment with the possibilities?
Enjoy the read with contributions by Alexandra Whittington, Sylvia Gallusser, Joana Lenkova and others.
Here are three future scenarios Joana imagined when working on her upcoming book "Choose Your Own Future", which of course, is gamified. Building a strategy for the future is a serious business, but it is an enjoyable and educational experience too!

[Editor’ Note – We are very grateful to Joana for allowing us to publish these three scenarios – and giving us an insight into the practice of a professional futurist. Scenarios such as these are [...]

"Some people play the game for a hundred years without ever figuring out that it’s a game, or that there is a way to win it. To win the videogame of life you just have to try to make the experience of being forced to play it as pleasant as possible, for yourself, and for all of the other players you encounter in your travels. Kira says that if everyone played the game to win, it’d be a lot more fun for everyone." Ready Player Two
