What's Future Literacy?
Futures Literacy is the capability that allows people to better understand the role that the future plays in what they see and do. It is a very important skill because imagining the future is what generates hope and fear, sense-making and meaning. The futures we imagine drive our expectations, disappointments and willingness to invest or to change.
