NEWS: CSDS Exhibition featured on "Chula at UNESCO High-Level Futures Literacy Summit"

Mark your calendars, from 8 to 12 December 2020, the High-Level Futures Literacy Summit will provide testimonials from around the world that being futures literate changes what people see and do. From high ranking leaders in the public and private sector to activists, artists, students and professors, the Summit will show how people become futures literate and the impact it has on all aspects of life, from dealing with COVID-19 to breaking the reproduction of oppression.

Now, as always, the future is uncertain. Climate change, pandemics, economic crisis, social exclusion, racism, oppression of women, inter-generational conflict, and more, shatter the conventional images of the future that humans use to feel secure, to be confident enough to invest in tomorrow.

This is not a small problem. Without images of the future that inspire hope and foster collaboration there is a high risk of despair and war. The malaise of poverty-of-the-imagination must be overcome.

Chula at UNESCO High-Level Futures Literacy Summit

Futures Literacy, a universally accessible skill that builds on the innate human capacity to imagine the future, offers a clear, field tested solution to poverty-of-the imagination.

This hybrid event will provide testimonials from around the world how being Futures Literate changes what people see and do and innovate the present. The event consists of Summit Plenary engaging in “future conversation” by world leaders, Agora (virtual exhibition) from more than 50 leading institutions and Global Futures Literacy Network side-events online. Chulalongkorn University, the only invited participating institution at the Summit from Thailand, will join the Summit Plenary and showcase its flagship projects in Agora, aiming to reach out future collaborators and partnerships across the world.
