Companion to Futures Tools and Techniques, this resource book contains 50 conceptual 'nuggets' from the field of futures studies. Together, 'Concepts ...' and 'Tools ...' provide a futures smorgasbord: a rich matrix of options for considering a wide range of futures themes, issues and concerns. Main sections here include: context; basic concepts; powerful ideas; and implementing foresight. Teachers and others working with groups can select from the many sections and weave together materials on a variety of futures themes. Futures concepts are regarded here as the building blocks of a futures discourse. The 'best' futures concepts are structurally simple (and can thus be approached with younger students) but can also be elaborated at more advanced levels as required. Also copyright-free for easy use.
