Riel Miller
Head of Futures Literacy
In its role as a Global Laboratory of Ideas, UNESCO is pioneering a powerful change in why and how people ‘use-the-future’.
What is Futures Literacy (FL)?
FL is a capability. It is the skill that allows people to better understand the role that the future plays in what they see and do. People can become more skilled at ‘using-the-future’, more ‘futures literate’, because of two facts. One is that the future does not yet exist, it can only be imagined. Two is that humans have the ability to imagine. As a result, humans are able to learn to imagine the future for different reasons and in different ways. Thereby becoming more ‘futures literate’.
