TURFU PLAYBOOK
In the TURFU playbook you will find tools and methods to develop the imagination and to reveal and build futures literacy capacity of young people living in the banlieues of Europe.
METHODOLOGY
The methodology and the tools are organized into 3 phases:
1. INSPIRATION – WHAT IS…
Explore your everyday life and surroundings at an individual level, and question your relationship to the larger societal ecosystem.
2. WORLDBUILDING – WHAT IF?
Reframe your own relationship to the world by imagining stories taking place in alternative desirable futures. You will also get to bring these worlds to life through digital and arts-based creations.
3. CHANGEMAKING – WHAT NOW!
Discuss how you feel about your vision and that of others, then see by connecting back to the present, what you’d like to do about it.
APPROACHES
The Turfu Menus refer to a set of activities and support materials that have a distinct methodological leaning. Each Menu has a dedicated activity for each of the three phases.
MENU 1 | TURFU FORESIGHT – This set of activities places emphasis on creating a traceable, coherent journey from introspection to imagination to then translate the participants’ vision into an actionable project.
MENU 2 | TURFU THEATER – This set of activities focuses on the use of the body, space, and sound to craft embodied visions of the TURFU.
MENU 3 | TURFU TO-GO – This set of activities is designed for flexible settings, associative thinking, and improvisation.
