Futures Lit Introduction

Futures Lit with Jen Ross

Futures Lit is a podcast about literacy for the future - the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to optimise our way forward.
During 2020 the world hit pause. A lot of people pondered the big questions, including what is most important to us, how do we build back better and how we prepare for an uncertain future.
The term 'futures literate' was coined by UNESCO and is described as a capability that addresses poverty of imagination - it's a skill that helps people imagine the role of the future in their day to day lives (reference - https://en.unesco.org/futuresliteracy/about).
One source of information to hone our creative and imaginative skills is the lived experience of others. This podcast brings you conversations with a range of people from diverse backgrounds, unpacking their origins and paths, and tapping into their knowledge and skills. We can draw on transferrable skills from unlikely places to future proof our lives and our teams, and become more futures literate.
