What do you see? I think I could safely bet a lot of money that what you\u2019re seeing now in your mind involves high tech, humanoid robots, and metallic high-rise cities! Can we be more imaginative about the future? And how do you see your personal future? Welcome to show 291 of Absolutely Intercultural coming to you from Denmark. My name\u2019s Anne Fox and in this show we\u2019re going to talk about the future, or rather, futures. Futures?<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely plausible<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll start with finding out more about what Futures Studies is, or are, by talking to Thor Svanholm Gustavson of the <a href=\"https:\/\/cifs.dk\/\">Copenhagen Futures Studies Institute<\/a> and no, it\u2019s not about predicting the future but about the possible, the preferred and the absolutely plausible. So what are Futures Studies?<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely specific<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thinking about the future is good for societies but let\u2019s explore the personal level. Now let\u2019s be absolutely specific and find out what Viktoria from Georgia told Mariam about her views of her future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely educational<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our next segment we hear again from Thor in Copenhagen. Let\u2019s go absolutely educational and find out why Futures Studies should be on the school timetable. Thor\u2019s final point makes me want to run a competition to draw a vision of the future that <strong>doesn\u2019t<\/strong> include high tech, robots and flying cars. But maybe that\u2019s for the future\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely predictable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now we\u2019ll hear from Raj, from India, about the role of parents in writing their children\u2019s future. There\u2019s a clear example of the present influencing the future when Raj goes back to India and aims to promote sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>So who\u2019s writing the story about <strong>your<\/strong> future? \u00a0You? Your parents? Society? Do you feel limited by the number of futures that are presented to you or do you, on the other hand have too many possible futures and you need to start thinking about your preferred future? What pictures of the future do you have? Are they all high tech?
