Ta en kopp kaffe sammen. Snakke om hvor vi er, og hva vi kjenner på før oppstart.

Gå gjennom deltakerlister og godtatte invitasjoner. Status.

Participants will collaborate in small groups to the realizations of artistic painted products for giving their contribution to the Hopeland venue and leave their mark on the place (e.g painitng signals for the trees, tents’ names, venue areas’ names etc.)

The participants will brainstorm through an idea regarding what to do and what not to do.

A short solo walk outdoors in which each participant finds an object to symbolise their response to a question. Simple to facilitate, quietly powerful in what it surfaces. Works as a check-in, a central reflective activity, or a closing exercise for surfacing takeaways.

A timed estimation game that reveals why accurate estimation is so hard, and why asking the right questions matters.

Players are asked to estimate how many iterations they need to connect a given number of dots.

The task looks trivially simple, but there is hidden complexity: Time pressure, total number of dots, lines obscuring numbers. This makes it harder than anyone expects. The gap between "this is ieasy" and "it was actually hard" is the lesson.

Use it when stakeholders wonder why forecasts keep missing, or when you want to shift the conversation from "why can't you estimate better?" to "how can we change the way we work to make more accurate forecasts?"

🌐 Online A ready-to-run digital version of this game is available at https://facilitatorkit.co/connect-the-dots-online. The facilitator creates a session and shares a link — participants join in their browser and play on their own device. The game generates burndown charts automatically after each round.

Notice threads in the present that if tugged on might unravel a more attractive future. Identify how the hints of a more ideal future are present, just not widely distributed yet. Participants can notice small changes, support structures, and local success patterns that have the potential to be scaled up to a global transformation. This includes surfacing strategies to overcome resistance and methods to spread early successes. Future~Present does not produce a plan to be implemented but rather builds momentum, imagination, social proof, and confidence in subtle or incremental signals. This builds capacity to actively shape next steps and pounce on opportunities.

Guided Journaling is a tool for the bottom of the U-process and builds on a completed co-sensing phase. It cannot stand alone! It allows participants to step into a deeper level of self-reflection and is often followed by a solo experience to expand on the insights that arise.
