Future Shapers: Sensemaking and Holistic Design Approach
4 weeks, 8 hours live session
We shape the future today with our decisions and dreams.
With this program, we will take the first steps to learn ways of thinking that will guide us in shaping the future.
For a better future, we must radically change our way of thinking that makes sense of the present being informed by the past.
Uncertainty is no longer an eddy that we avoid; it can become a creative and free space of movement in which dreams and possibilities are given form. After completing this program, the participants will acquire the skills of looking at the ongoing events with a novel way of seeing, interpreting them from different perspectives, and making more holistic and creative decisions.
At the end of this program;
