Members are hereby invited to the Annual General Assembly of Design denmark. The General Assembly is convened and held in accordance with the provisions of the articles of association, and you can now register to participate if you are a member.
Presentation: Imagining the future
At this year’s General Assembly, you will hear from foresight expert Thomas Geuken, acclaimed author, licensed psychologist and Associate Director of the Institute for Futures Studies.
He will guide us through a short intensive session on the role and function of art in foresight and why the Institute for Futures Studies has chosen to take over the UNESCO chair and fight “the poverty of imagination”.
The Institute for Futures Studies has been developing 10-year scenarios for the world’s largest organization for the past 50 years. Thomas shares this experience and links it to the potentials of art.
