#5yearsofimpact - Tech for good Workshop

Games and Health
by Vanessa Mason, Research Director ''Institute for the Future''

Vanessa Mason of Institute for the Future will share a brief introduction to foresight and futures thinking and discuss how these approaches can lead to better present day actions and strategies

From there, participants will engage in a brief exercise to share and discuss signals, small or local innovations with potential to grow in scale and geographic distribution, focused on power and the future of social impact.

Bring an example of a disruption like a technology, prototype, new policy or data point, or event that you’ve encountered in the last six months that points to a new possibility for the future of social impact. If you don't have an example readily available, please attend anyway. You may find or think of on as the discussion goes on.
