FutureLab Game®

With the FutureLab Game®, young people in secondary education and in further education can playfully discover what interests them and what future possibilities they would like to know more about.

The FutureLab Game® includes 3 team games, where players inspire each other to think about their interests, important future questions and Sustainable Development Goals. The game is linked to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) because the future of young people depends on a livable world.

Note: Included with the FutureLab Game® are 68 Inspiration videos which are on the page "For Young People". Scan the QR code on that page. 

A free PDF is also available with a Dutch-language explanation of all 68 Inspiration videos. Request it here.

"Playing the FutureLab Game" workshop with teachers (in training)

In the "Playing the FutureLab Game" workshop, teachers (in training) learn how to use and guide the game by first playing it themselves. This way, they get to know the full potential of the game, before playing it with students. After playing the game, we will discuss

• how to guide the game as a teacher and what is important in guiding.
