Protopia: What if the future is created by its users
Panel about the idea that we have no right not to talk with children about the future, so we must involve schoolchildren in the practices of the future. We will present the map of the practices of the future as one of the tools with which you can go out with school children into designing the future. And we will invite international colleagues to present their concepts of how the education system should change.

Protopia: The future we desire
What are the long-term scenarios for the 21 century that we anticipate - and how do we act upon them? This is a panel with experts and communities of practices considering big scenarios: long-term forecasting for 50+ years. We would like to discuss desirable and undesirable images of the future of the communities - and how can they act now to get into the desired future, what difficulties will they face, and how we can overcome them altogether.

Protopia: 2020, A decisive decade
Presentation of several studies on possible future scenarios for the coming decade. Our analysis shows that the long anticipated changes begin to unfold in the 2020s, and the new model of global society for the 21st century begins to take its shape. Whatever happens throughout this decade will have long-term implications for our collective future.
