The real world is full of challenges and the sheer weight of
problems facing us can stifle the genius of our collective human
creativity at exactly the time when we desperately need imaginative
and innovative solutions. Responding to this, Practicing Futures: A
Civic Imagination Action Handbook harnesses our connections to
popular culture and taps the boundless potential of human
imagination to break free of assumptions that might otherwise trap
us in repetitive cycles of alienation. Utopias and dystopias have
long been used to pose questions, provoke discussions, and inspire
next steps and are helpful because they encourage long view
perspectives. Building on the work of the Civic Imagination Project
at the University of Southern California, the Handbook is a
practical guide for community leaders, educators, creative
professionals, and change-makers who want to encourage creative,
participatory, and playful approaches to thinking about the future.
This book shares examples and models from the authors' work in
diverse communities. It also provides a step-by-step guide to their
workshops with the objective of making their approach accessible to
all interested practitioners. The tools are adaptable to a variety
of local contexts and can serve multiple purposes from community
and network building to idea generation and media campaign design
by harnessing the expansive capacity for imagination within all of
us.
