The Creatives Futures module aims to offer strategic tools for foresight and trend analysis in order to better anticipate the transformations of our societies on a local and global scale. Targeting creatives who seek to develop or perfect their professional projects (graphic designers, industrial designers, interaction designers, product manager, design strategist or innovation manager), this program offers the opportunity to develop skills that enable the participants to adopt a strategic approach to co-creating the future with their clients. Whilst strengthening their abilities in detecting and analysing weak signals or managing a monitoring environment, participants will learn to integrate sense-making foundations into a strategic project. This process will foster the development of their critical thinking skills, enabling them to engage with contemporary discourses on the future and challenge the role of designers in shaping it.
Over a period of 5 weeks, participants will acquire the theoretical foundations of foresight and will put into practice new techniques of design and design fiction. With the help of various tools and methods, they will be able to assist their teams and clients when addressing key topics of Change and Futures thinking.
