Neurodivergent Workshop with Futurium: What the future holds

This interactive workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to actively engage with and reflect upon the possibilities of tomorrow.

Organized in collaboration with Futurium, the session is designed to be participatory, blending reflection, discussion, and creative hands-on activities.

Location: Futurium, see the workshop room on the map attached in this event.

📸 We will be documenting the event. However, we will fully anonymize all participants by covering faces with stickers in the final media. If you’d prefer not to be in any shot at all, you are welcome to step away briefly during those moments.

What to expect:

• Introduction (approx. 20 minutes)
  We begin with a journey into the past—examining historical postcards from the 19th and early 20th centuries that depict imagined futures. Participants are invited to explore and discuss these images together, considering what feels surprising, what turned out to be accurate, and how past visions compare to the technologies we know today.
  Optionally, we will also screen a short video featuring young people from 1966 sharing their predictions for the year 2000—offering an additional prompt for reflecting on how future visions are shaped by their historical and cultural context.
• Interactive Exchange (approx. 20 minutes)
  Next, participants take part in a guided “opinion swap” exercise using prompt cards. This dynamic format encourages movement, discussion, and the exchange of diverse perspectives within the group—making space for a wide range of voices and viewpoints.
• Creative Activity (approx. 20 minutes)
  To close, the group will collaborate on designing an “object from the future.” This hands-on exercise invites participants to imagine possible developments and express their ideas creatively—turning abstract speculation into tangible, shared visions.
