Imagining the Future – Together

Join us to explore what a better future might look like — and what would it take to get there.

What is Shared Horizon?

Shared Horizon is CIC, broadening what people think possible. We play a constructive yet provocative role in society, prompting the public to think differently through futures thinking workshops, creative arts and media, and advocacy – to democratise who defines the future.

Why this workshop?

People want change — but most of us struggle to picture what a positive, fair, sustainable future could actually look like. This limits our capacity to act, to collaborate and to imagine anything beyond the status quo. This workshop is designed to open that up — by bringing different perspectives into the room and exploring them collectively.

What will we do?

This is a hands-on, interactive session. You'll spend most of the time thinking, discussing and creating with others.

Together, we'll:

• Explore how our minds make sense of the future
• Use futures tools to imagine multiple pathways ahead
• Reflect on what “better” really means in a changing world
• Surface shared hopes, concerns and motivations

There are no right or wrong answers. The emphasis is on conversation, curiosity and collaboration.

Do I need any experience?

No prior knowledge is needed – either in futures thinking or in the big trends shaping the world. You don’t need a background in policy, academia or sustainability. The workshop is designed for everyone, and is built around lived experience, curiosity and conversation rather than expertise.

Who's it for?

Anyone curious about change or asking themselves: What comes next?
