Following Univ.-Prof. Dr. Reinhold Popp, there are four different types of old-age provision:

- Material provision (standard of living, pension, etc.)
- Health care (nutrition, lifestyle, etc.)
- Social provision (friendships, family, etc.)
- Mental preparation (way of thinking, desires etc.)

Mental provision in particular is often overlooked, but is defining. It's about how you want to shape the last phase of your life and with what kind of attitude you face it.

A few weeks ago, we interviewed Univ.-Prof. Dr. Reinhold Popp, a fellow futures scientist and researcher on ageing. He mentioned how not only a long but also good life is worth living. In his opinion, “the quality of life isn’t only determined by individual conditions, but also by institutional and infrastrucural ones. These include health care, lifelong education, housing, mobility, leisure and culture, politics and participation of citizens in it, amongst others.“

Navigating the futures of tourism in Spain? Sound

Navigating the futures of tourism in Spain? Sound ambitious, and yet, that’s exactly what we’ve been doing for the last couple of months.

Together with the great team at @tipi_koop, we designed and are executing the project “Travelling into the Future”, aimed at creating alliances that facilitate the design of sustainable strategies and better ways of doing tourism.

Implementing future studies methodologies, we are working towards developing future scenarios for sustainable tourism in Spain.

We’ll be posting details about our work. Stay tuned if you want to know more!

Next week, Lilith and Kitty will facilitate a workshop on tourism, futures and sustainability. The attendees are young people aged 15-24, making the task all the more exciting.
⠀
Having spent a year exploring the futures of tourism never ceases to give us reasons and motivation to keep going. Thank you @modellmorgen for the opportunity and @umweltbildungszentrum_berlin for providing the space that makes it possible.
⠀
We are delighted an excited!

Some impressions of our talk at @waterkant.festival last month.

Kitty and Gina spoke about the relevance of designing transformation processes –instead of just letting them happen–, offered insights on which futures methodologies we prefer to do this, and gave proper insider info on how we at Futures Probes approach such challenges.
⠀
We truly enjoyed being part of the festival and spreading the #futures word.
