Academy Workshops
The future starts with taking action
Don’t just talk about change. Dive right in. Future Thinking workshops where ideas flow, collide and take shape.
Intuitive & inviting
The future isn’t a fixed plan. The future isn’t a fixed plan. It’s a playing field.
In Next Nature’s Future Thinking Workshops, you’ll explore possible futures, test ideas and discover how technology, biology and society evolve together.
You’ll learn through experimentation,
discussion and, above all, by doing.
Also available as a compact speed session.

Future Perspective
Where are we now? And where do we want to go?
Everyone sees the future differently.
That is precisely what makes it so interesting.
In this interactive workshop, you will literally move around the room and take up positions. Through statements, discussion and movement, you will discover how different perspectives within your team relate to one another.
You will:
- Taking and discussing positions
- Bringing perspectives to light
- Shaping visions of the future together
You’ll take home:
- Insight into how your team views nature and technology
- Experience in bringing together diverse ideas
- A shared foundation for collaboration and strategy

What do you take away from a workshop?
You no longer see the future as something vague. But as something you can influence.
You’ll learn to navigate uncertainty,
explore new ideas and work together to chart a course.
Navigate. Explore. Collaborate.
That’s how we keep the spirit of innovation alive.
