Responsible Futuring In 1 Day - towards a circular society | 10 June 2024
Moving towards sustainable and circular practices is a complex but needed challenge. This shift requires navigating a complex multi-stakeholder process dealing with different interdependencies and values at stake. In this workshop, you will gain hands-on experiences on Responsible Futuring to embrace transdisciplinary and futures-oriented approaches while shaping sustainable futures.
During this workshop, you will:
- Explore the fundamentals of circular economy principles.
- Gain insights into transdisciplinary collaboration to incorporate a diversity of values and perspectives in your collaborative process.
- Learn about futures design to co-create ‘visions with intention’ with diverse groups of stakeholders.
- Acquire hands-on tools to integrate Responsible Futuring into multi-stakeholder collaboration for circularity.
For whom?
We welcome participants with varying levels of knowledge on circular or design. We encourage participants from diverse professional and personal backgrounds to join the workshop to facilitate a learning experience as transdisciplinary as possible. Whether you are a professional in the packaging industry, a policy-maker, an artist, or a consumer passionate about circular practices, we invite you to be a part of this masterclass.
