About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Even though the “Future of Work” is being widely discussed in high level academic and international policy-making agenda, most of the information is still unknown or too unfamiliar to the people mostly affected by it: youth.
We want to change that!


What does your innovation look like in practice?

The Future of Work Experience (FloWxp) has an integrated design with a narrative story that unify five stations that the participants go through. The stations where designed around the most mentioned skills in the major publications of the last 3 years.
In an ESCAPE ROOM participants must solve logic and lateral thinking challenges, using digital and analog resources. In the MORAL LAB, through a “choose your own adventure” format, participants have to solve uncomfortable dilemmas, reflecting on the ethics behind Artificial Intelligence. The HUMAN MACHINE challenges the critical and creative thinking of the participants, linking them with the skills needed for the future and Artificial Intelligence. In the COLLABORATOR station participants are faced with set of challenges on trends (like ageing populations, multiculturality) that require team work. ALTERNATIVE FUTURES is an open space to reflect on the experience and debate what the future actually means.
