The concept of CurioCities: Futures UNlocked*
When you as an international bachelor's student join CurioCities: Futures Unlocked*, you explore opportunities for a thriving circular society, while going on an experiential journey in the Twente region of The Netherlands.
- A city trip through Enschede, packed with activities that you carry out together with students from all over the world.
- Learn, create and collaborate to shape desirables futures, using the Responsible Futuring approach.
- Local key actors in society guide you through the process and share their expertise and passion when it comes to the societal challenge.
- Take home a suitcase filled with new skills that you can use in your studies and future career!
Responsible Futuring Approach
Overconsumption happens on a global scale: plastic waste, fast fashion, our addiction to digital technologies... you might have some examples, too. Choosing one solution could lead to other consequences: for ourselves and for our planet. That's why we need a collaborative approach to explore new paths.
- Throughout CurioCities: Futures Unlocked*, you will become aware of what YOU consider important about the societal challenge on circular society.
- The exact challenge that you will be working on will be announced on the first day of the city trip. We wouldn't want to spoil the surprise!
- By participating in the activities, and through fun suitcase challenges, you will get to understand the perspectives of those involved a little bit better.
- And while you come up with new ways of thinking and knowing, you make futures tangible. Potential futures to draw lessons from, that we can apply today. Futures Unlocked!
