Reimagining the Future

A past course delivered by The Future is Green
 
This was a past course delivered by The Future is Green. 
Psychologists Professor Jackie Andrade and Dr Jon Rhodes, co-developers of functional imagery training, and imagination catalyst and time traveller Rob Hopkins trained learners to harness their imagination. Learners developed their sensory skills to envisage succeeding in their climate ambitions, helping to unlock their full potential to drive real action. 

What learners could gain

  • Cultivate the collective power of imagination through interactive, memorable hands-on activities.
  • Explore personal values to communicate with authenticity.
  • Motivate teams to sustain their efforts towards challenging goals.
  • Acquire new perspectives that could stretch ambition through the power of asking "What If...?" 
  • Gain a renewed sense of optimism, arming learners with the confidence to tackle climate challenges head on. 
This course was fully funded for organisations in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly through the Future is Green short courses project.
