This article aims to discuss the origins of the Mandarin edition of Dreams and Disruptions, practical experiences, and reflections on ‘playful futures’.

Earlier this year, I facilitated a session with a group of fire protection practitioners using the Dreams and Disruptions Game, a participatory futures method developed by the Center for Engaged Foresight. As an Adjunct Faculty member of the Philippine Public Safety Academy, I have been bringing foresight games into professional development and learning spaces where it is rarely used — and fire protection, it turns out, is one of the most fertile grounds for this kind of work

I gave a talk on decolonizing foresight with young and aspiring climate leaders. We also held a rapid-fire Rivers of Tomorrow workshop. The Rivers of Tomorrow is a novel adaptation of the Dreams and Disruptions Game.
