WHAT IS FUTURE DAY?

Most of our holidays are focused on past events or individuals, or on the rhythms of nature. History and nature are wonderful and should be honored — but the amazing future we are building together should be honored as well.

Future Day is a way of focusing and celebrating the energy that more and more people around the world are directing toward creating a radically better future.

This is a brand new holiday — the first Future Day was in 2012.

DETAILS

For Future Day in Stockholm this year, a number of futures-focused organisations arrange a collaborative event to illustrate alternative futures. The day is organised as an experiential game, where participants collect insights about different futures followed by a co-creative process, where teams craft possible future scenarios.

Time: Saturday March 1 from 11AM to 3PM.

Future Day Stockholm 2014 is an event co-created by Stockholm Futurists (https://www.meetup.com/StockholmFuturists), Guerilla Office (http://guerillaoffice.com/), Adludo, CoHero Game Design (http://adludo.se/) and other organisations.

The event is free, including general admission to Tekniska Muséet, where the event is held. There is no food or drink served during the event, so please bring something to eat. You can also buy this at the museum during the day.

Welcome!
