Imagining a Better World is a facilitated public workshop exploring how design can support communities to imagine and articulate thriving futures.

In small groups, participants will experience a curated projection of speculative future visions drawn from the 3xTL Vision Library. Through guided discussion and structured visioning exercises, attendees will develop their own written future scenario and translate it into a visual artefact using emerging creative tools.

The workshop explores the space between present challenges and protopian possibilities, inviting participants to consider how imagination can function as a civic design method rather than as fantasy.

Each two-hour session is limited to twelve participants to support depth of discussion and collaborative exchange. Participants will produce a visual representation of their preferred future and contribute to a growing public archive of speculative futures.
