Short description
In a Future Workshop the participants are encouraged to develop imaginative, unconventional solutions to issues of current interest, by means of an atmosphere designed to promote creativity.
Process
- Criticism phase: analyzing the current situation and identifying the problems.
- Fantasy phase: developing ideas and suggestions (initially these can perfectly well be utopian – obstacles in the real world are ignored at this stage).
- Realization phase: structuring the suggestions, investigating how realistic they are, reaching agreement on what happens next.
Help in addressing cultural/ethical aspects in planning of secure public spaces
- Developing visions, e.g. when a statement of principles, a development scenario, a far-reaching project for the future etc. is to be put together
- Searching for new, creative solutions for existing problems or issues
