Futures Triangle

The Futures Triangle is a mapping tool that helps participants explore the forces shaping the future. It looks at three key elements: the pull of the future, the push of the present, and the weight of the past. Together, these form a dynamic picture of the landscape of change.

Futures Wheel

The Futures Wheel is a structured tool that helps groups explore the ripple effects of change. Starting from one event or trend, participants map out first-order consequences, and then expand outward into second- and third-order impacts. It encourages systems thinking and helps uncover both obvious and unexpected outcomes.

Get the Job

This activity aims to help the target group get better understanding on the basics of writing a professional CV. It is important for participants to know how to acknowledge and extract different aspects of their personality and experience and put it in their CV in the form of skills and competencies, so they are relevant for the desired position.

This can support you to track your successes, your

development and thus, help you to write meaningful cv and hopefully present yourself well on an interview.

Bring out the unconscious experience to a conscious level, and shape it in the form of specific skills and competencies, so you can build on them.

Group Contract for Trust, Creativity & High Performance

Whether your group has already established its dynamics or is working together for the first time, creating a group contract enables people to mindfully ground their behaviours in inclusivity and respect, and promote psychological safety. These dynamics encourage trust, confidence, and inspiration–which in turn build engagement, encourage creativity, and result in wellbeing and success for all.

Guided Journaling

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.
