Envision futures

In this learning workshop, you’ll shape your vision for change and explore diverse ideas that respond to your chosen RSA Spark brief.

Are you a higher education student or educator? Join RSA Spark for the third in its series of free interactive online learning workshops.

In this workshop, you’ll imagine a better tomorrow for you and your community, and generate ideas in line with your brief, carefully considering which ideas present the greatest opportunity for impact.

You’ll draw on your values and motivations (explored in workshop one) and the context of your community (explored in workshop two), to create ideas that bring your vision of the future to life.
