Imagining For a Better Future

In what world do I want to live? In this experimental course, we will collectively venture beyond the bounds of imagination and explore the shapes of our future as we would like it to be. Through interactive activities and methods of radical imagination, we will dissolve notions of how the world works as we know it and dare to create the world we desire. We will examine life in the Anthropocene, perceive the obstacles it presents, and radically depart from the entrenched tracks of the status quo. We will delve into the depths from which our passion to create a better world arises and unveil the forms of social transformation and systemic change. Our common goal will be to explore societal narratives and narratives that we can collectively create and implement. What might the story of our world look like, in which we live in harmony and abundance with the living and non-living beings around us?

Upon returning to Prague, she joined the Extinction Rebellion movement, where she actively participated for a year and became involved with the topic of citizens‘ assemblies. In 2020 she co-founded the Platform for Citizens‘ Assemblies, which aims to bring this form of deliberative democracy to the Czech Republic. She trains politicians, civil servants, and individuals striving for systemic change. Currently, she collaborates with a government commissioner for human rights on implementing a national citizens‘ assembly on the topic of energy poverty.
