Futures Literacy – An essential skill to imagine the future

Dear Speculative Futures Zurich Community,

We are thrilled to have Anna De Mezzo as the speaker for our next Meetup. Anna, as a member of the UNESCO futures literacy team, will introduce us to the work that UNESCO is doing to disseminate futures literacy across organizations, communities, and countries all over the world.

Futures Literacy is a capability that fosters the human capacity to imagine the future, by training creativity and imagination. It is a capability that helps to better understand the role of the future, how to use the future to initiate change, to prepare and invent as changes occur.

The mandate of UNESCO futures literacy, as a global laboratory of ideas, is to train and spread the skill of futures literacy and to include and diversify ideas from people and communities all over the world, to democratize the origins of people’s images of the future.
After Anna’s talk, there will be time for Q&A and a discussion based on participants' thoughts and experiences.

We are looking forward to seeing you!
