Generating futures

This session will demonstrate a 'new' futures methodology through experiential learning for all attendees and participants. This methodology was developed through the teaching program at the Australian Foresight Institute. Based upon the theory of P.R. Sarkar and the writing of Sohail Inayatullah, the Sarkar Game allows the existing cultural scripts of all individuals to be 'played' out in a present-based social drama. The game also demonstrates a meta-perspectival role that attempts to generate the futures that transcend the present-based drama. The Sarkar Game is also an article-in-press for a special issue of the journal, Futures.
