1. Summary

Future Workshop: A Future with or without Technology?

In this workshop, participants will go through the future workshop method. The focus is on the question of the extent to which there will be a future with or without digital technologies and what this future should look like.

Reflection

Finally, participants are given time to take notes on the units so that they can reflect on them again in the final online session.

2. Start Up

The unit begins with a video that introduces current digital developments and looks at them from different perspectives. Among other things, the terms robotics, artificial intelligence and digital capitalism are explained. Furthermore, reference is made to questions of social, ecological and economic sustainability.

Duration: 3,25 hrs

Required materials:

Pen and Paper
Laptop / Smartphone / Tablet
Booklet: A Future with or without Technology?

Kompetenzen_Version2 At the end of this Unit, the participants are able to:

... define current concepts on developments in the IT sector and enter into a discussion about them.

... work with others on future concepts and outline developments.

... define and argue measures for a more sustainable development in the IT sector.

3. Development

In a future workshop, students are encouraged to sketch possible future developments of one or more trends discussed in the video. The aim is not to draw future scenarios that are as realistic as possible. It is about imagining a version of the future that is as dystopian or utopian as possible, as well as discussing the question of whether such a future will occur or not. What measures need to be taken to enable or prevent such a future. The future workshop can be held both in an online format and in person.

Here you can see an overview of the various steps of the future workshop. Step 1 - Step 6 represent the Development phase, Step 7 the Consolidation and Step 8 the Follow-Up.

You can find the materials for conducting the future workshop HERE. The material is available as a booklet to print out and also as worksheets in DinA4 format. It is also possible to edit and adapt the worksheets individually.
