Key elements
As part of the "Act to Think, Think to Act in the Anthropocene" pathway, the educational framework of the Sustainable Futures program is organized around several ambitions:
- Introduce students to the foundations of analyzing the worldview of a real organization and its representatives.
- Train them in Anthropocene research to identify the forces of change currently at work in the environment of the studied organization, whose impacts may be ignored, misunderstood, or unimaginable for its representatives.
- Teach students the basics of creative writing for prospective scenarios.
- Introduce them to the design of immersive experiences that will allow representatives of the studied organization to immerse themselves in several possible futures (that they had not previously considered), enrich their worldview, and discover ways to contribute, starting today, to building a habitable world.
This innovative program offers companies a unique opportunity to position themselves as leaders in ecological and social transition. By participating, you will stimulate the thinking of dozens of students on the challenges of your organization and discover new and unexpected perspectives. Through interactions with students and the analysis of case studies, you will contribute to building a habitable world starting today.
