Sessions
One of the most effective ways to create change is to envision how the steps we take today will affect our future selves and our planet. Join us to engage in rapid-fire brainstorming sessions as we design a bold shared vision of the future 5, 10, and 20 years from now. Participants will lend their unique strengths, contributing everything from artistic visualizations and designs to personal narratives that help us imagine a brighter future. Teams will then create artifacts describing their big visions and the steps that must take place to turn their visions into reality. The resulting artifacts will be shared via social media for all Conference attendees and beyond, and all session participants will receive a template of the session to use as a tool for future work and collaboration. This session will be led by CivicMakers and Civic Hall.
