We’ll explore the tools and techniques to get people involved in the shape of things to come.

Host Tiernan Douieb brings together Kazakhstan-based futurologist John Sweeney with Nesta’s Kathy Peach and Laurie Smith. They talk about why we should all participate in designing our future - and how to go about it.

We also hear from Professor Mark Tewdwr-Jones from Newcastle University. Mark reflects on the Newcastle City Futures project and the ways in which it engaged the wider community to steer the course of the city.
