Description:

  1. Integration of Futures Literacy into Education:
    Support the inclusion of futures thinking and foresight skills in school and university curricula worldwide, enabling learners to anticipate change, imagine alternatives, and build long-term resilience.

  2. Community-Based Futures Workshops:
    Fund public learning initiatives and participatory foresight workshops in communities—particularly in vulnerable or underserved regions—to explore local visions of the future and develop collective responses to change.

  3. Professional Development for Futures Literacy:
    Offer training and certification programs for educators, civil servants, and organizational leaders to apply futures literacy in strategic planning, policymaking, and social innovation.

  4. UNESCO Partnership and Standards Alignment:
    Collaborate with UNESCO’s Futures Literacy initiative to align with global standards and accelerate implementation through national education ministries and cultural programs.

  5. Youth Foresight Fellowships:

  6. Futures Labs and Digital Tools:
    Invest in the creation of futures literacy labs and development of open-access digital tools (e.g., scenario games, simulations, storytelling platforms) to support learning, creativity, and collaboration.

  7. Futures Literacy in Crisis Planning:
    Ensure futures thinking is embedded in emergency preparedness, climate resilience, health policy, and peacebuilding efforts to enhance adaptability and inclusive foresight.

  8. Global Monitoring and Impact Evaluation:
