UNESCO

Futures Literacy Summit,
December 8-12, 2020

Futures Literacy in Austria

We are honoured to be part of this pioneering summit and have received great support by Austrian politicians and entrepreneurs.
 
As this video shows, among others we could win Federal Minister for EU and Constitution Karoline Edtstadler, as well as State Governor Thomas Stelzer and our City Mayor Klaus Luger for strong statements on Futures Literacy.

The summit

 

The UNESCO Futures Literacy Summit is a virtual event and will unfold over five days, consisting of:

High-level plenary sessions (Dec 8-9): Global futurists guide hundreds of live conversations on this important 21st century skill. Austrian keynotes are delivered by Upper Austrian State Governor Stelzer and Federal Minister for EU and Constitutions Edtstadler. Moreover, we have prepared the video above to be shown at the plenary sessions.

Expo Agora (Dec 8-9): In this virtual expo place, institutions present their work on Futures Literacy. You can find us presenting our activities at a virtual booth too.

Live Workshops (Dec 10-12): Im Zuge des Summits werden diverse Workshops und Labs zu einer Vielzahl an Themen angeboten.
