This workshop is a kick-off for a broader engagement process that will see Digital Futures gradually building a community that will instigate forward-looking and adaptable policies for Europe. Our future online engagement platform is itself conceived to be co-developed to enable co-creation of ideas from this workshop and beyond. For the time being and as a basic web presence for the project you can refer to the following web site: http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/digital_futures/index_en.htm | This workshop is a kick-off for a broader engagement process that will see Digital Futures gradually building a community that will instigate forward-looking and adaptable policies for Europe.

A scenario is not a specific forecast of the future, but a plausible description of what might happen. Scenarios are like stories built around carefully constructed plots based on trends and events. They assist in selection of strategies, identification of possible futures, making people aware of uncertainties and opening up their imagination and initiating learning processes. | |||
