Future Workshops for Europe
The Future Workshop (FW) is a methodology that helps people learn about Europe and European institutions, and
empower citizens to meet the challenges of a knowledge-based society.
We will use FW to reach out to disadvantaged groups through multipliers, like teachers, youth and social workers, and
trainers. The FW is an innovative and well-structured process, which has been used for many years to find solutions,
and for community-based planning. The FW was originally developed for citizen groups with limited resources, who
wanted a say in the decision-making process. It is a technique meant to shed light on common challenges, to generate
visions about the future, and to discuss how these visions can be realized.
In this case, we will use the FW to work with educators and other multipliers from rural and local areas in order to
train them in the methodology. We plan to train self-sufficient teams of trainers who can support each other in
implementing the process in their home communities. These teams will use the FW process with their communities to
create adult education programs for the purposes of teaching about Europe and European values, and promoting active
citizenship.
