Students visualise their dreams and ideas about the future by drawing or writing them down.
The method helps students think visionary and identify their own wishes and hopes for the future.
Explain to the students that they should imagine the future and create dream images, thinking freely and without limitations.
Identify or let the students choose what they want to focus on. This could be personal goals, careers, climate, technology, or social development, for example.
Determine or let the students decide when their future dreams should take place. This could be in 5, 10, or 50 years, for example.
Students reflect individually on their future dreams. They write down or draw their dreams. If they choose to write, they can use the worksheet Wish Matrix (not translated), where they note what they want to maintain or strengthen, and what they want to phase out or avoid in the future.
Play some soft music while the students ‘dream’.
Students can focus on specific themes, for example, “The sustainable society of the future” or “My role in the future.” It’s important that the focus is neither too narrow nor too broad.
You can use the Silent Brainstorming method to let students reflect on their dreams without distractions.
Encourage students to combine their future dreams into a shared vision within their group.
Each student or group can then select one dream they wish to develop further.
This method is used, among others, in activity XXX.
