The FutureLab Game®

FutureLab is a program designed to inspire young people to think about their future and find answers to the questions Who am I?, What am I capable of?,
and What do I want? Through FutureLab, many young people discover what they want to do later. It leads young people to "turn on" and think much more consciously about what they (want to) learn at school and what choices they make.  

Now there is also a FutureLab Game®. By offering FutureLab in game form, lots of young people in secondary education and further education (university) can playfully discover what interests them and what future possibilities they would like to know more about. The FutureLab Game® contains 3 team games, in which 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.

If you would like an overview of all the SDGs with a brief explanation attached, request it here.

The FutureLab Game® is available separately, but  together with the Core Values Game® also part of FutureLab. Schools can organize a FutureLab at school, but can also use the FutureLab Game® and the Core Values Game® separately and without FutureLab in already existing career guidance programs, link it to citizenship lessons and mentoring lessons, or play it during a project week. Watch the introduction film about FutureLab.

The FutureLab Game® can be played for ages 12 and up. One game contains content for 4 teams with 4 players (16 players total). The game is also suitable for adults.

Note: The FutureLab Game comes with 68 Inspiration videos which are on the "For Young People" page. 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 use the game in school or training and
• how to supervise the game as a teacher and what is important in supervision.
