Workshops on scripting possible futures
"Experiencing our territory in 2050"
Between October 2025 and January 2026, 16 workshops were organised to collectively imagine how our territory could evolve by 2050.
A collective, multi-stakeholder approach based on imagination.
The future scenario workshops were designed as a space for collective reflection, allowing for the exchange of viewpoints and the projection of desirable futures, taking into account climate projections.
These workshops addressed several key themes of the territory such as: agriculture, housing, leisure, economy, water…
Depending of issues These workshops, chosen by the communities that hosted them, brought together: residents, elected officials, professionals from various sectors, institutional and associative actors.
