SESSION DURATION

GUIDELINES:

During the exercise, you can use as many elements as possible to link future descriptions with local conditions.

For example, photos of objects, names of people related to the region, local legends, specific places. You don't have to look far ahead.

An article presenting the future may refer to the final stage of the project implementation or shortly after its completion.

Ouverture

Participants are seated in teams of five to seven with one table host each. The facilitator gives each team a future newspaper worksheet, post-its, coloured pens, glue, pictures and scissors.
