Wrocław 2050 – Futures Literacy Workshops and City Strategy Consultations

Task

The Wrocław City Strategy Office commissioned 4CF to conduct workshops aimed at introducing Wrocław’s youth to strategic foresight and futures literacy. Additionally, the workshops served as a platform for consulting the foundations of the city’s new strategy, including a catalog of values important for Wrocław.

Solution

To achieve the project’s objectives, the 4CF team organized two workshops, during which Wrocław’s youth had the opportunity to:

  • explore multidimensional scenarios for the future of Wrocław 2050;
  • design artifacts from the future;
  • express their opinions on the values that should guide Wrocław’s development;
  • analyse the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) related to achieving these values under different environmental scenarios.

Effect

The process culminated in a report outlining the key values identified as important by Wrocław’s youth. The report also highlighted values that were difficult for them to understand, suggesting they should be refined by the city’s strategists. Additionally, it provided insights into issues that matter to the youth, offering valuable input for Wrocław’s strategic planning efforts.
