What does it mean to think like a futurist? This hands-on, thought-provoking session offers a taste of EFI’s teaching style and introduces some of the tools and mindsets we use to explore possible futures.

This session will invite you to reflect, imagine, and engage, no background knowledge needed. You’ll get a feel for the kind of learning you’ll do with us: interactive, interdisciplinary, and rooted in real-world challenges.

Why attend?

  • Experience EFI’s teaching approach in action
  • Explore the kinds of questions and provocations we use in our learning
  • Get a sense of how EFI invites you to think creatively and critically about the future

Join us to experience learning at EFI in action.
