LTT-1 (Learning, Teaching and Training Activity)
Event Date: 23.06.2025 – 27.06.2025
Event Location: Bilişim Vadisi - Istanbul, Türkiye
The first Learning, Teaching and Training (LTT-1) activity of the FutureCraft: Empowering Visionaries for Tomorrow's Dynamic Landscape – Future Literacy project, co-funded under the Erasmus+ KA220-ADU programme, brought together participants from Türkiye, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Norway and Finland for an intensive learning experience focused on future literacy and strategic foresight.
Hosted by Bilişim Vadisi, the training programme combined theoretical knowledge with practical workshops, group activities and real-life examples. Throughout the programme, participants explored how individuals and organisations can better understand change, identify emerging developments and prepare for multiple possible futures. The activity also provided an important opportunity for participants from different countries to exchange experiences, build networks and develop a shared perspective on future-oriented thinking.
The first day began with an introduction to Bilişim Vadisi and the official opening of the programme. Participants introduced themselves, shared their expectations and became familiar with the overall objectives and agenda of the training. The sessions then introduced the fundamental concepts of future knowledge and future literacy, including alternative futures, scenarios, megatrends and vision building. Participants also completed the Futures Consciousness pre-test and took part in practical workshops on horizon scanning and identifying signals of change using the PESTEL framework.
On the second day, the focus shifted towards participatory foresight methods and the production and use of future knowledge. Participants explored the Foresight Diamond framework and different approaches to scenario development. Through interactive group work, they used PESTEL variables and the Futures Table method to develop best-case, worst-case and wild card scenarios. Practical examples and case studies further demonstrated how strategic foresight can support decision-making and help organisations prepare for uncertainty.
The third day focused on strategic foresight and its application in organisational decision-making and planning. Participants learned how foresight activities can be structured within organisations and how insights about possible futures can be transformed into strategic priorities and action plans. During the workshops, participants used generative artificial intelligence tools to conduct horizon scanning for selected green and digital business ideas. They analysed and classified emerging developments and used the results to develop future-oriented roadmaps.
On the fourth day, participants explored the connection between strategic foresight, business model design and business model innovation. The Business Model Canvas was introduced as a practical framework for understanding and developing business models, while discussions highlighted how organisations can adapt their models to changing conditions and future uncertainties. Through a business model stress-testing workshop, participants tested their ideas against potential risks and wild card scenarios, identified areas for improvement and developed adaptive business model prototypes. The day concluded with the preparation of pitch presentations integrating strategic foresight into future-oriented business concepts.
The final day provided an opportunity to reflect on the learning experience and present the outcomes of the training. Participants completed the Futures Consciousness post-test and presented the adaptive business model prototypes they had developed throughout the programme. Closing evaluations focused on the learning outcomes, future applications and next steps. In addition, participants took part in a technical visit and campus tour, where they gained further insight into Bilişim Vadisi, its entrepreneurship ecosystem and the wider business environment.
Overall, LTT-1 was a successful and highly interactive learning experience that strengthened participants' understanding of future literacy and strategic foresight. By combining theoretical concepts with practical tools, scenario development and business model innovation, the training equipped participants with valuable knowledge and skills for navigating uncertainty and developing more resilient, adaptive and future-oriented approaches. The activity also strengthened international cooperation and created new opportunities for knowledge exchange among the project partners and participants.
