What tools can support the public to imagine good future life, within the planetary boundaries?
How can creative approaches support with the democratisation of futures thinking?
A collaborative project with Sitra that sought to ignite sustainable futures by imagining what a "good life" can look like for all in Finland.
The final toolbox includes a website and online imagination gallery designed to spark collective and personal agency. It offers playful, immersive tools for schools, workplaces, and communities, supporting vision-building, emotional engagement, and connection through shared imagination experiences.

Over nine months, a developer group and the wider public co-designed and tested a playful toolbox of imagination methods, which ranged from visual exercises to communal pop‑ups. The result is an accessible, gamified toolkit and online gallery that empowers individuals and communities to envision sustainable scenarios and take collective action toward planetary well‑being .
