Big change is on the horizon

YOU DESIGN THE FUTURE

Digital technology like the internet, robotics, artificial intelligence and virtual reality are opening up exciting new possibilities for how the world operates and are quickly transforming society and what it means to be human. Perhaps the very foundations of what a society is and how the world works should be questioned...

FUTURE WORLDS CHALLENGE

Future Worlds Challenge is a dynamic multi-platform learning experience which gives individuals the skills to succeed in tomorrow's world. Participants learn how to use Design & Systems Thinking to design a society of the future, and use game theory to challenge themselves to create the future they want to see.

The program allows individuals to develop cognitive flexibility, critical thinking, ethical frameworks, and gives them a stronger awareness of the risks and opportunities new technologies present to humanity and themselves.

A unique social
learning experience

ANALOGUE + DIGITAL

HOW IT WORKS

Future Worlds Challenge is designed to leverage the best of face-to-face discussion and online learning by combining a physical card game which explores our Smart Humans Architecture, with matching curated online content from around the world.

The program is a non-linear journey, based on the random path generated by the selected cards and the natural curiosity of the learner. It allows people to dive deeper on subjects that excite them and gives them space to imagine their biggest vision of the future.

Participants work in teams to strategise the key elements which make up their society, while dealing with unexpected spanners which will test the resilience of the design. At the end of the journey, teams present their world and must defend why their society would develop the happiest citizens.
