Collective & Creative Futures: Sensemaking Workshops

Join us for a series of interactive and global discussions exploring how we can creatively and collectively design, imagine and move towards better futures for people and planet. In this space you will get to hear insights and stories from and connect with other practitioners and changemakers centring marginalised communities in futures work. We want to champion the diverse backgrounds, experiences and expertise that support this mission.

We’ll dig into early insights surfaced from rich conversations with creative practitioners as part of the RSA’s Collective Futures research and in partnership with UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK.

As practitioners, contributors and changemakers, we’re delighted to invite you along to connect, make sense of our early insights, and capture opportunities to strengthen practices towards futures for better people and planet.

The insights shared will feed into creating open resources for practitioners, funders and policy and systemic stakeholders interested supporting practice that recognising a diversity of voices, particularly those that frequently go unheard to imagine better futures for people and planet. We hope this work will continue to inspire and support communities, organisations and practitioners now, and for many years to come.
