Window to the Future was created for and played by the participants during the Third European Academy Event in May 2024.
This game invites you to open a window into the future. It is a reflection tool to kick off interesting and balanced conversations around what the future might hold for our communities and how we can act now to co-create a better future. Use it when you want to practise future-thinking skills, such as imagination, empathy, critical thinking and strategic thinking.

The tool consists in an instructions booklet, a game board and 4 different kinds of playing cards. Below you can find them in a version that you can print on a simple colour printer (best one that enables 2-sided printing).

Take a look at the instructions for more details.
The game board comes in two sizes. A2 provides ample space for post-is with reflections from groups of up five persons per game board.
The of the four sets of cards contain the cards with text that have been prepared as a part of this tool, as well as some empty cards. We invite you to use the empty cards, if you would like to change or add elements that are not mentioned in the present version of the game.
