Before Final Conference in Pisa

WHAT IS THE CONFERENCE ABOUT?

At the event we shall:

• Present the learning journey we have taken to prototype an online course in Futures Literacy / Foresight for students, academics and entrepreneurs;
• Enhance understanding of futures thinking among the participants by offering two workshops;
• Learn from each other how to teach and use-the-future in our professional lives.

Our Project
beFORE project has developed an e-learning platform that integrates both basic and advanced training materials to promote futures thinking. With our online course, we would like to help academics, entrepreneurs and students of various educational backgrounds to advance the most relevant competences to deal with the uncertainties of the future and present.

Workshop 1: Future of professions and competences
The aim of the workshop will be testing and evaluating a prototype of an educational game, which can be used in the practice of career counseling and career development support. The workshop methodology focuses on projecting the future of the labor market in the time perspective up to 2040 through the prism of four possible scenarios and potential competences relevant in the future in the context of specific professions.

Workshop 2: Quantitative methodologies to anticipate the future
The aim of the workshop is to show quantitative methodologies for foresight
activities. The results of a quantitative foresight analysis for an emerging technological sector will be illustrated and discussed with the participants, in order to better understand how such kind of outputs can be first interpreted and then used.
