Join us at the Future Narratives Festival!
We are delighted to announce that registration is now open for the Future Narratives Festival, taking place in Ferrara, Italy on 14th and 15th May 2025.
Future Narratives: A Festival of Possibilities
Come together with young people, youth workers, educators, and creative practitioners from across Europe for a day dedicated to exploring the power of storytelling and futures thinking. Through workshops, conversations, and collaborative activities, participants will engage with key questions about how we imagine the future and how our stories shape the possibilities ahead.
At the heart of the Festival is a belief that imagination is not a luxury but a capacity we can develop. By drawing on tools from Futures Literacy and participatory storytelling, we aim to support young people and educators to think critically and creatively about the present, and to co-create narratives that open up space for change.
Thursday 15th May, 10:00 – 18:30
Chiostro di San Paolo, Corso Porta Reno 60, Ferrara
- Four hands-on workshops on storytelling and futures thinking
