Webinar organized as part of the "Positive Future" initiative (IEA de Paris - Fondation 2100), with Marcela Sabino, former head of Innovation of the Museum of Tomorrow, Rio de Janeiro.

Presentation

If we wish to achieve a more inclusive, sustainable, diverse and equitable world, we urgently need a diversity of perspectives to imagine – and to build – better futures. The problems we face today are so wicked that it is critical that people from all disciplines, experiences, abilities and perspectives come together to think like futurists, question like artists and act like designers. Based on experiments made at the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, this presentation will show how positive futures can be prototyped to inspire change. Using key techniques, processes, methodologies, mindsets and tools, you too can become an active participant in shaping preferred futures!

Marcela Sabino is a foresight strategist, creative director, and innovation designer. She was head of Innovation of the Museum of Tomorrow, Rio de Janeiro, where she led initiatives bringing together creative, multidisciplinary ideas, people, and projects with a focus on exponential technologies and their potential impact on major social, economic, and environmental challenges.
