New tools for futurists
With the Toolbox for Xtopias, we invite you as teachers, educators, team leaders, funding providers, artists, activists and everyone interested to incorporate Xtopias in your work: You can make use of one or several of the eight Xtopian tools. Or would you like to set out on the exciting, joyful and challenging adventure of developing and implementing your own Xtopia? That’s what the building instructions are for.
Introduction and instructions for building an Xtopia
We want to inspire you to create your own Xtopia. Let us guide you step by step through the process. We will show you how to develop the idea, put it into practice and review the results.
Cohabitat
A mystery and role play game that highlights current conflicts between humans and the natural world and prompts ideas for future forms of cohabitation with other species.
Automento Mori (Todomat)
This unusual digital machine invites users to think constructively about what will happen when they die and suggests some actions they can take to be better prepared.
Guided Visualisation Journey to the Future
How do people picture the urban future? A guided meditation helps to answer this question and discover fascinating new visions.
Installation for Interconnected Thinking
The three-dimensional installation of bamboo poles and strings invites people to explore the interconnections between two complex transformation processes and share their questions and ideas.
Mood boards as a door opener
Large-format collages of photos, images and graphics are ideal for triggering associations and getting people to start imagining different futures.
Animal Perspectives
Can we see things from the perspective of a wild animal? The role play cards are a fun way to broaden our perception of the city.
Play Space Xperiment
The more freely we play, the more we have to invent the playing field and rules ourselves. This tool invites everyone to create visions freely and playfully.
Xtopian Circuit Training
An interactive format consisting of multiple stations that train participants (and the circuit’s developers) for the future using thought experiments.
