C-2 Foresight Educators Boot Camp

Have you ever wanted to package what you have learned about the future and use it as a professional course or student curriculum? Would you be ready if the opportunity came knocking to serve as an adjunct professor to teach futures studies at the community college or graduate level? Can you see yourself launching a “Futures Institute” that offers foresight training for your school, community or organization?

The need and opportunity for leadership training in strategic foresight has never been greater in public service or private enterprise. This unique one-day course will give you an edge to open doors and deliver high quality sessions in both futures thinking and action. It will review both existing resources and share best practices on how to create lesson plans, short-courses, and entire degree curriculum. Join the new vanguard of futurists who are leveraging what they know to help adults get future-ready.

Highlights: Participants will leave this course with an understanding of:

• How to assess your own personal, professional, and academic assets as a futures educator.
• How to relate futures topics to real world competencies your audience needs for professional and personal development.
• How to identify training opportunities that futurists can develop within schools, colleges or companies.
• How to create practical foresight exercises, workshops and courses.
• How to engage in just-in-time learning when asked to create face-to-face courses or online curriculum.
• How to market the importance of foresight education to academic and organizational leaders.
• How to locate foresight educators who can mentor you.
