'''Peaceful Futures''' is an action research project conducted by [[Global Education Futures]], [[School of International Futures]], [[VZOR Lab]], and Next Generation Foresight Practitioners. [[Future Worlds Center]] delegates, [[Yiannis Laouris]], [[Marcus Hallside]], and [[Kevin Dye]], have been invited to participate in the four online sessions and subsequently to organize an online [[Structured Democratic Dialogue]] in order to structure the "winning ideas" into an [[Influence Map]]. | |||
The premise of the project is to explore the possibility of creating a peace-based civilization on our planet in the next 50 years. Over the last half a сentury many prominent thought leaders pointed out the fact that weaponry is becoming increasingly lethal while the global socio-economic system becomes increasingly fragile. In 2022, the world once again recognized the fact that world peace should not be taken for granted and that the existential risk of a global thermonuclear conflict could be very real. If this condition remains, the possibility of a sustainable human civilization should be ruled out. In the words of Buckminster Fuller, “either war is obsolete, or humans are”. | |||
Through a series of foresight and [[Structured Democratic Dialogue]] sessions, participants from over 30 countries of the global north and south have explored the range of political, economic, technological, educational, and socio-cultural strategies that can create peace for all. As a result, a time map of critical paths towards peaceful futures was created, and an opportunity map of civic and cultural peace-focused solutions was produced. | |||
The next focus of the project is to create a range of thematic groups that will explore different aspects of Peaceful Futures and plans to launch a range of collaborative initiatives to accelerate the transition towards this scenario. During the follow-up workshops, results of the foresight and the manifesto of Peaceful Futures will be presented, and plans for 2023 will be elaborated together with the workshop participants. | |||
