Futures thinking is a rational, creative, reflective, and contemplative process of engaging citizens to be aware of and to question their ways of knowing the future to create contingencies, alternatives, strategies to innovate, and transform today.  As a process, it invites you to know that our worldviews and contexts create value. The goal in futures thinking is to make sense of thinking and meaning in questioning and disturbing the way we anticipate the future. The values and the stories that we create and share with others, personal or collective, create futures. While futures or foresight at this level is primarily “thinking” driven and often seen to be academic, it is very much learning-based and action-oriented. The approach being stakeholder and learner-based, futures thinking enables participants to generate content and new insights – to define and undefine the future. According to Sohail Inayatullah, the future or futures are: 1) not neutral; 2) that futures studies are not about, though to a certain extent, not prediction but insight; and 3) that values, belief systems, and culture have roles to play in describing and creating reality – alternatives and preferred.
