Description: Living Futures: Scenario Kit is a design tool for understanding, discussing, and shaping the future. Explore four alternative versions of year 2050 through narrated stories from future citizens, and a set of design tools that puts the scenarios to work.
Living Futures: Scenario Kit can help you catalyse change and reclaim the opportunity space in a time of overwhelming complexity, uncertainty, and lack of agency. Living Futures is a one part evocative listening experience and one part toolkit. It provides a thrilling yet safe space for you to understand, discuss, and shape the future together.
The kit is built around a set of four alternative futures set in the year 2050. Each scenario is explored through narrated stories by fictive people living in them. Each story offers a view into the human experience of existing in these societies. The futures are not predictions: They’re extreme, yet plausible, what-if scenarios meant to illustrate how mallable the future really is.
Who’s behind it all? The kit is funded, developed, and maintained by the Danish Design Centre with the support of The Danish Industry Foundation and Udviklings- og Forenklingsstyrelsen. It is based on the input from over 130+ experts from around the world and is made available for anyone to use for free. Living Futures is a living resource that evolves over time. If you are interested in contributing to the future development of the project, please let us know.
