Futures Literacy for Founders
Reframing risk, uncertainty, and imagination with Futures Literacy
Futures Literacy, developed by UNESCO, is a vital skill that helps you understand and engage with the future beyond traditional planning. For entrepreneurs, it’s a way to embrace uncertainty with creativity and build more resilient, imaginative ventures.
In this interactive 2-hour in-person workshop, we’ll use UNESCO’s Futures Literacy method (Reveal, Reframe, Rethink) to challenge the way you think about risk, decision-making, and the role of imagination in growing your startup.
After the workshop, enjoy 1 hour of networking with fellow founders and innovators.
Who should join?

What you’ll gain:
● Discover Futures Literacy as a tool to navigate complexity
● Reveal and reframe your assumptions about startup success, risk, and innovation
● Envision alternate futures and design for long-term adaptability
● Connect and collaborate with innovation actors in the Northern Netherlands
