Light-years ahead

Using Transformative Storytelling to Envision Futures in Space

What might life on the Moon or Mars look like in 100 years? Who will live there, how will society be organized—and what conflicts will arise when people live, work, and mine raw materials in space?



In this workshop, you’ll develop your own stories about the future of life in the solar system. The starting point is a scenario in which people on Earth live more sustainably, while the first permanent settlements are being established on the Moon and Mars. But humanity is divided: Should it focus its efforts on saving Earth or seek new opportunities in space?

Using the “Transformative Storytelling” method, you’ll gradually sketch out a picture of a possible world. You’ll put yourselves in the shoes of a person from this future and tell their story. This makes abstract developments tangible and brings different perspectives to light.
