An interdisciplinary project by overtures
Everyone is talking about water. Public awareness of the resource question and the demand for detailed information are on the rise. It is now more necessary than ever to have an in-depth discussion on the topic, far removed from the superficial debate and scare tactics in existence. Remember: No water, no life!
The Journey
travelling into the future, a group of opinion leaders from culture, art, science and politics, economics, technology, environment and society will develop a series of possible scenarios on state of our water supply in Europe in 2050.
The Question
The method focuses above all on the analysis of clearly different scenarios created from the perspectives and experiences of the participants. The question regarding water is as follows: What shall, will, can or might be the future of our water supply in forty years time? A new angle: the events will be analysed and evaluated at regular intervals on the return journey from future visions back to the present.
The Result
The difference between the original state of knowledge before Time Travel and the wealth of experience with which one arrives back into the present is of crucial importance. The acquired awareness and fresh perspective on knowledge will shed light on what we need to do today to handle our water resources so that we are better prepared for the situation we expect to find in the future. Possible measures and innovative strategies will be developed in order to satisfy the social, economic and ecological needs to cope with what we envision in the future. These will in turn generate recommendations for actions right now which participants can incorporate and implement in their daily lives.
