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

Foresight, then, is not a luxury—it is an antidote to bureaucratic stagnation. In this context, wild imagination is not escapism—it is strategy. It is the capacity to stretch the boundaries of the possible so that governance does not become governance of the dead: emotionally dead, spiritually disengaged, ecologically disconnected.

We recently had an exciting session on Dreams and Disruptions Game at the Foresight Europe Network Demo Hour.

During the initial Community Meet, I was honored to attend the gathering hosted by the Journal of Futures Studies Community of Practice.
