Charge : Create the Future (a workshop not to be missed)
A MYCELIUM & FUTURE PROJECT MASHUP
Mycelium’s action-based approach mixed with Future
Project’s disruptive thinking process, will help you
challenge the status quo to create a better future. In this
environment of inspiration and innovation, we will design
and create something that, each of us alone, could not
imagine. We have no idea what it will be, nor would we
want to. This is your project.
Three leading thinkers and doers in design, education
and social entrepreneurship will guide an experiment for
disruptive innovation by employing such techniques as
Shit Storm, Thinking Wrong, XYZ, and Dream Fierce,
proven exercises to imagine new possibilities to design
and launch this co-creation. The result could be a social
enterprise, a short viral documentary, a social experiment
- what really matters is that we come together, have an
amazing time and create something meaningful. To see
what past participants have created, check out the links
under past engagements.
Join the fun here!
