This workwhop open to all empowers you to better understand climate change impacts, and choose your own future in our uncertain world. We will let you know when the next session is organized!
Taking in the challenges of today’s world, do you sometimes feel totally unprepared for what’s coming when you think about climate change? Do you feel overwhelmed by information online, thinking that it has become increasingly difficult to figure out what the future will look like, how you should plan for your life or act every day to be prepared for a world of climate instability?
We cannot take away the occasional overwhelm. But building on our expertise in futures literacy and climate resilience, we are happy to share some insights, simple exercises and tested tools, so as to help you navigate uncertain times now and tomorrow.
If this speaks to you, you can join us for our next workshop where we will explore:
- How what we think about the future impacts all our decisions today
- What are today’s biggest questions in relation to climate change impacts
- How we can train ourselves to be open to improvisation, adaptation and transformation, not as concepts but in our daily lives
The two-hour session is led by Loes Damhof, UNESCO Chair on Futures Literacy, and Laureline Simon, Founder and Director of One Resilient Earth, and former UN Climate Change Secretariat staff member. The workshop is highly interactive and will include group exercises based on UNESCO’s Futures Literacy approach, open sharing, and deep listening. It will also provide ample time for questions and answers between trainers and trainees. Specifically, we will do our best to answer all the questions that you have in relation to climate change impacts and resilience.
Whether you know a lot or nothing about climate change, whatever your age, wherever you are from, you are welcome to join. We aim to keep the conversation simple and direct so that it can be inclusive.

I absolutely admire and appreciate wholeheartedly that you were able to create a safe space, free from judgement and open to all avenues of thoughts and opinions. Especially when discussing such an important subject as climate change. I felt welcomed to be myself, and to speak openly with everyone during the workshop. The space was wonderful with its intentions to create a time to discuss each individuals’ feelings, aspirations, and doubts with the future with the goal to address how we can still move ahead as a harmonious collective. As someone who is not involved heavily in the field of climate change, it was fantastic to feel included and involved alongside everyone else. Everyone was treated as an equal and with respect, which I appreciate beyond words.

Loes and Laureline met through Resilience Frontiers in 2019, and have enjoyed collaborating since then. They recently published “What If Resilience Was About Welcoming Emergence Every Day“, an article that can be read on Tero Magazine, as well as on Medium, and provides some insights into this workshop.
The workshops held in November and December 2020 contributed to the citizen outreach activities of the Futures Literacy team at Hanze University, in the framework of the FLxDeep consortium (ty.fi/flxdeep), which is co-funded by the EIT Climate-KIC Deep Demonstration on Long-termism.
