Teach the Future

(English below) ES: ✨ Muy emocionada de compartir con ustedes el informe "Prospectiva Joven: Futuro digital y tecnologías emergentes en Argentina", que recoge los resultados del proyecto de investigación en prospectiva en el que trabajé como parte del programa UNICEF Youth Foresight Fellowship. Este trabajo fue hecho en base a una serie de workshops con jovenes donde exploramos de que manera se ve el futuro digital, las tecnologías emergentes que pueden disrumpir ese futuro y una serie de recomendaciones para los principales actores que pueden influir en nuestro país. Es un honor para mi poder publicar esta pieza que refleja los aprendizajes y experiencias que adquirí durante este año y la importancia de la Prospectiva en los jóvenes. Muchas gracias a todos los que colaboraron en el armado del proyecto y sobre todo a quienes participaron de los talleres! Los invito a leerlo y explorar de que forma podría la tecnología influir en el futuro de nuestro país! Y espero que lo disfruten tanto como yo disfrute todo el proceso 🩵 PD: También les dejo el link para la página web donde pueden conocer más brevemente sobre el proyecto y los principales resultados: https://lnkd.in/dDNEvJXD ----- EN: ✨ I am very pleased to share the report " Youth Foresight: Digital Future and Emerging Technologies in Argentina", which brings together the results of the foresight research project I worked on as part of the UNICEF Youth Foresight Fellowship program. This work was done based on a series of workshops with young people where we explored how they see the digital future, how the main emerging technologies can disrupt that future, and a series of recommendations for the main stakeholders that can influence in our country. I am honored to be able to publish this piece that reflects the learning and experiences I gained during this year and the importance of Foresight in young people. Many thanks to everyone who collaborated in putting the project together and especially to those who participated in the workshops! I invite you to read it and explore how technology could influence the future of our country. And I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the whole process 🩵 PS: I also provide you the link to the website where you can learn more briefly about the project and the main results: https://lnkd.in/dDNEvJXD

One's professional growth requires regular connections with people of like mind. To feel supported and appreciated should be an integral emotional part of any community, but for futurists, it is even more critical. Let me explain why. We deal with ephemeral things that do not exist and will never because as soon as a future comes, it turns into the present. In addition, futures studies still require much effort for implementation in certain parts of the world. Foresight is a community activity, not only for stakeholders but for consultants as well. That's why I appreciate what #TeachtheFuture does! Its monthly regular virtual meetings bring new contacts and ideas and build a sense of belonging. Many thanks to Lisa G., Lourdes Rodríguez Rodríguez, Peter Bishop, Amna Habiba, and all other friends from different hubs around the world for them!

What is Futures Literacy, anyway? For the “Future is Now” project, we had to make it clear to young participants, educators and youth workers. ⤵️ Drawing on the work of many great scholars and practitioners before us, this is what we wrote: 💡 “Futures Literacy is for everyone. It does not require full mastery of any specific 'futuring' technique, but is rather an evolving set of skills and experiences, mostly learned in action. It allows individuals to: - better understand the role that, through anticipation, the future plays in what they see and do; - understand the real-world effects of imagining futures; - articulate the differences between various uses of the future, depending on context and purpose.”   This definition helped us engage with partners with no previous background or even interest in foresight. To help even further, we created (in 2022) a small booklet that describes the characteristics of Futures Literacy and provides many examples of its usefulness to young persons. Read, circulate and use it freely!   The Future Is Now project has been led by YouthWatch, BrusselAVenir and Plurality University Network, and supported by the European Union’s Erasmus+ program. 💘 Authors: Daniel Kaplan Chloe Luchs Alexandra Kurišová Ellen Anthoni Khushboo Balwani Alena Tomanová 💘 💘 Graphic design: Benjamin de Moor
