EDUCATION
Tourism Future Box
The Tourism Future Box contains innovative educational materials on the future of tourism. These were developed by Helga Mayr (PH Tirol) and Christian Baumgartner (response&ability), based on the Future Boxes from futurium, the House of Futures in Berlin, and are freely available in both German and English.
They can be used flexibly in teaching and instruction:
- individual methods in single or multiple courses or teaching units and/or
- several methods combined within the framework of project days
The Future Box contains: a guide, various card sets (trend cards for developing scenarios, megatrend cards, perspective cards, wildcards, challenge cards, impulse question cards, a quick-start guide, and individual method descriptions).
An application in the form of a three-day Climate Change, Tourism and Sustainable Development Bootcamp is described in the guide. During the bootcamp, participants search for traces of climate change in the context of tourism and sustainable development, discuss with experts, conduct interviews, develop possible scenarios, and finally create a vision for the tourism of the future. Based on knowledge of the current situation and possible developments, as well as their own visions, they formulate specific challenges or problems for which they ultimately develop and prototypically implement solutions in teams.
