Future Stories, made by you!

Over 400 people have received and played the storytelling card game 'Connecting Worlds For a Better Future', which is a follow-up of the eponymous narrative about UT, presented at the Dutch Design Week 2022.
From DDW visitors to advisers of Gemeente Enschede, from current students and researchers to the future generation of academics: everyone can tell a story, reflect on their role in society and think about who they would need to realise their desired future.
A selection of stories is available in our 'User Stories' repository, a booklet and in the form of audio. The illustrations that tell the stories visually can also be experienced live at DesignLab, as part of the DesignLab museum.
You can also play the game. Visit the Responsible Futuring toolbox 👉 utwente.nl/responsible-futuring

Real data made tangible and enchanting | Presentations Creative Technology students in DesignLab
- - -
Yesterday, over a hundred second year students Creative Technology presented their project ’Hybrid Worlds’ in DesignLab. In this project, students build an installation that showcases the interplay between data in the physical world and the digital world. Stories about consumer behaviour in different countries and fashion waste, the effects of CO2 emissions in our oceans, and the true cost of drug production and consumption: This is just a selection of showcases that encourages the audience to discuss, understand and anticipate the impacts of our actions in society.

Meanwhile, first year students organised a modern art exhibition that was also presented at DesignLab, on the same day. Part of their project ‘Art && Impact’

The results raise the question: How to deal with these challenges, together? Let’s co-shape these futures, also in education! Good job, students!
