INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
A participatory future method in three phases. Critique: the group names current problems and dissatisfactions. Fantasy: participants envision an ideal future without constraints. Implementation: they convert that vision into a feasible action plan. Through this designed process, the workshop converts collective grievance into constructive vision and concrete action instead of endless complaint.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Convert complaint to action: channel the group's dissatisfaction through structured critique into a real plan. - Protect the fantasy phase: let unconstrained imagination speak before any judgment returns. - End in implementation: always require a feasible action step, not just a vision.
Anchor fast decisions
In Jungk's participatory future method, stakeholders move through three phases, critiquing the present, fantasizing the future, and implementing action, to jointly imagine and advance a future plan. The mechanism is participatory collective imagination: shared authorship turns grievance into ownership of the plan.
